As the Committee on Environment and Public Works prepares to vote on the nomination of former Representative Lee Zeldin to serve, as Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) would like to express our unwavering support for his confirmation. As a distinguished former member of Congress, Mr. Zeldin understands how environmental policy impacts different regions of the country. His understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the aggregates industry will enable him to effectively address the most pressing issues facing our nation’s critical infrastructure and supply chain. His vision for the EPA aligns with our goals that environmental laws and regulations should be based on sound scientific, engineering and medical research and established scientific, engineering and medical principles.
