Introductory Statement on S. 5563
Senator Padilla introduced S. 5563, the Ocean Protection and DDT Reduction Act, which would direct NOAA, working with the EPA and the Department of Defense, to study and address the effects of historical toxic waste dumping off the coast of Southern California, including DDT and other industrial and military chemicals. He said these chemicals continue to leak and harm marine life and people, and that the bill would have federal agencies and scientists track the waste and find ways to address the damage.
