WASHINGTON (AP) ― Sen. Ben Cardin says he has introduced a bill to cut pollution from highway stormwater runoff.
Cardin says last week's storms highlight the need for legislation aimed at keeping stormwater from reaching streams, rivers and other waterways.
The bill would require the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop standards for protecting and restoring watershed in areas that contain federally funded highways.
