A new piece of legislation was introduced on December 3^rd that would significantly help advance green infrastructure throughout the country. American Rivers worked with NRDC, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, the Low Impact Development Center, and the Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution Control Administrators to bring these issues to Rep. Edwards and co-sponsors Russ Carnahan and Steve Driehaus.  Go to the American Rivers web site for more information, or go to the Library of Congress to read HR 4202, The Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Act of 2009 text.
