Settlement reached in Pikes Peak suit
Water quality on Pikes Peak in Colorado is expected to improve as the
result of a settlement reached Monday in a lawsuit between the city of
Colorado Springs and the Sierra Club. The settlement would require the city
to implement a 10-year, $14-21 million construction program to protect
streams and wetlands on Pikes Peak, and to fund various other cleanup
projects on the mountain. It must still be approved by U.S. District Judge
Richard Matsch, who is hearing the suit.

Waco challenged to use more wind power
If Waco Mayor Mike Morrison gets his way, his Texas city will have one

electricity obtained from renewable energy sources. On Earth Day, April 22,
Waco will get a head start toward this goal with the start up of the four
largest wind turbines in the United States.

latest issue of NCAMP's journal Pesticides and You, evaluated pesticide
laws regarding public buildings, including workplaces, government
buildings, commercial buildings, health care facilities and restaurants.

Poll echoes need for localized environmental protection
Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe that state or local governments
would do a better job at environmental protection than the federal
government, according to a poll released Tuesday. "Americans are
unquestionably pro-environment," said Jonathan H. Adler, senior director of
environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the
non-partisan policy group that released the poll. "But they are also
suspicious of the extensive, command-and-control environmental bureaucracy
headquartered in Washington, D.C."
