We seek to end waste, promote renewable energy and enhance the health and resiliency of communities we serve while advancing equity and responding to the challenges of a changing climate. The Partnership would like to express its strong support for two issues that are addressed in the Agriculture and Broadband Finance omnibus bill. Department of Agriculture Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Funding One of the great challenges facing counties in our responsibility to manage solid waste is the growing surge of wood waste created by the removal of ash trees infested with EAB, which to date is found in 27 counties and climbing. We urge the Conferees to adopt the Senate provision for the Department of Agriculture appropriation of $300,000 in each year for “rapid detection, identification, containment, control and management of high-priority plant pests and pathogens including Emerald Ash Borer.” (Senate Provision Page R2) These resources will ensure that the Department of Agriculture experts remain a vital part of the team working to respond effectively to this growing problem by slowing the spread of EAB. Advancing Biofuels Development The Partnership seeks forward-looking opportunities to develop useful products from waste.
