Great Lakes Legacy Act
The U.S. Senate has passed the Great Lakes Legacy Act, which would continue a program to reduce contaminated sediments in the lakes.
The legislation authorizes $54 million a year for the cleanup of polluted parts of the Great Lakes. The $54 million is about the same amount the project has received in the past.
The House passed the measure earlier this month with $150 million a year for funding, an increase over previous allowances.
There's no word when a conference committee will start working on a compromise.
The legislation follows an earlier version of the law, which passed in 2002.
