The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced new requirements to limit harmful PFAS chemical compounds in drinking water. Airports are among potential PFAS sources, and Aviation Pros reports that they are prepared because of a TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program report that provides "a practical, data-driven approach to build lines of evidence as to whether activities at the airport, or from other sources, may have contributed to PFAS found on or near the airport property."
TRB's "future of the interstate" concensus study was mentioned in three articles:
- The Trucker cites the 2019 report in an article about the Baltimore bridge collapse, noting that U.S. interstates have "a persistent and growing backlog of physical and operational deficiencies as a result of age, heavy use and deferred reinvestment, and [are] in need of major reconstruction and modernization."
- Medium reports that regional air mobility depends on better roads to airports and "an increase in combined state and federal expenditures to sustain our interstates ... from $20-$25 billion to $40-$70 billion annually."
- For Construction Pros added, "That sounds like a huge leap, except that the Infrastructure and Jobs Act signed into law on November 15, 2021, committed $350 billion in highway and bridge funds over a five year span, ending in 2026."
The California grid will require major upgrade to meet EV demands, costing between $6 billion and $20 billion, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported on in The Hill.
