US EPA - Region 1. 1997 State of the New England Environmental Report. 1997. 29 pp.

The EPA works very hard to increase its presence in New England's communities; to stand tough on important environmental issues such as safe drinking water and clean air; to tackle new, troubling issues like sprawl development; and to improve internal management systems so as to deliver more inspired, cost-effective service. EPA does not meet these challenges without the help of eager, able, committed New Englanders; they have benefited from, and continue to welcome, ideas and labor of these citizens to help strive towards a healthier, more beautiful New England for generations to come. This resource reports on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 1 1997 evaluation on the state of the New England environment. This document has chapters covering the following topics: New England ecosystems, public health & our environment, economic opportunities, recreational resources, environmental education & outreach, and new directions.
