The
task force brings together ten U.S. Cabinet and Agency heads to
coordinate restoration of the Great Lakes. Created by an Executive
Order from President Bush on May 18, 2004, the Task Force will
focus on outcomes like cleaner water and sustainable fisheries,
and target measurable results. Together, the ten agencies administer
more than 140 federal programs that fund and manage restoration
efforts.
In addition, the President directed that EPA work with relevant
states and cities to convene a regional collaborative effort.
EPA Administrator Mike Leavitt met with the Chairs of the Council
of Great Lakes Governors and the Great Lakes Cities Initiative
on May 18, 2004 and scheduled meetings with all eight Great Lakes
Governors during the remainder of May.
