Vermont's Lake Champlain Cleanup Falters Despite $900 Million Investment, EPA Warns

Vermont's Lake Champlain Cleanup Falters Despite $900 Million Investment, EPA Warns

Vermont's decade-long effort to clean up Lake Champlain is significantly behind schedule, despite nearly $1 billion spent on water quality projects and programs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warned last year that Vermont is "not on track" to meet its 2036 cleanup goal, needing to more than double its annual pace. Currently, the state has achieved only 35% of its target. The primary issue is excessive phosphorus, which fuels toxic cyanobacteria blooms, also known as blue-green algae. These blooms have led to pet deaths, beach closures, and negatively impacted local businesses and property values. Phosphorus enters the lake from agricultural runoff, stormwater, and sewage treatment plants. While some areas of the lake have shown minor improvements, seven of 15 sampling stations have consistently exceeded EPA phosphorus limits since 2015, and four stations recorded higher average phosphorus levels in the last decade compared to the previous one. State agencies have been slow to implement mor...

Five Plays: Stanford First Quarter

Five Plays: Stanford First Quarter

Louisville started the game with an unbelievable script, attacking the edges of Stanford’s defense. They ran some option plays and a nice swing pass to Isaac Brown early on, looking to get their fast players into space against a Stanford defense that is not very athletic. I really like that they also looked to take […]

Five Plays: Stanford Second Quarter

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve tried to explain a blown coverage this year, but at least this one is easy. Jabari Mack is in zone coverage on this play with the responsibility for the third of the field to the top of the field. He starts the play staring into the backfield […]

Louisville Loop Trail Expands by Over a Mile with New Sections

Louisville Loop Trail Expands by Over a Mile with New Sections

Two new sections of the Louisville Loop trail system have been completed in east Louisville, adding more than a mile to the existing network. Mayor Craig Greenberg, alongside local partners, celebrated the completion of these projects on Friday. The Middletown-Eastwood Trail 2 segment contributes approximately 0.68 miles along U.S. 60, connecting South Beckley Station Road and Bircham Road. The second project adds about 0.35 miles, linking Gilliland Road to the Eastwood Recreation Center. Once fully completed, the Louisville Loop is envisioned as a 100-plus-mile trail system that will encircle the city, connecting neighborhoods, parks, schools, and workplaces, and promoting outdoor activity. Louisville Metro is encouraging residents to participate in a survey by November 13 to help shape the future development of the trail system.

Prime Video’s Superb Muhammad Ali Series ‘The Greatest’ Makes a Star Out of Newcomer Jaalen Best: TV Review

Some historical figures are so towering that they become mythical. Muhammad Ali, the athlete, the man, the activist, is one of them. Ali’s life was under the microscope while he was alive, and it has been chronicled during this century in films like 2001’s “Ali,” starring Will Smith, and Regina King’s 2020 film “One Night […]

Scientists' Coalition Advocates for Global Plastics Treaty to Curb Pollution

Scientists' Coalition Advocates for Global Plastics Treaty to Curb Pollution

The Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty is advocating for a comprehensive international legally binding instrument to address plastic pollution. This coalition emphasizes the need to reduce primary plastic polymer production, restrict unnecessary single-use plastics, regulate harmful chemical substances associated with plastics, and improve product design. Their recommendations stem from growing concerns about the environmental and biological impacts of plastics, including microplastics. Research by Arnaud Huvet at the Laboratory of Marine Environmental Sciences (LEMAR) highlights that microplastics can have toxic effects on marine bivalves, affecting their physiology, growth, and reproduction. The coalition also warns against the assumption that biodegradable or compostable products inherently eliminate environmental risks, as many require specific conditions to degrade and may still contain harmful chemical substances. Existing European and French measures are considered insufficient t...

EPA Reduces Environmental Oversight and NEPA Implementation Following Policy Shifts

EPA Reduces Environmental Oversight and NEPA Implementation Following Policy Shifts

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has significantly scaled back its implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its cross-agency environmental oversight. This reduction in activity is attributed to both policy decisions and a decrease in agency staffing levels, which fell by over 13% in 2025. Historically, the EPA provided crucial comments on other agencies' environmental decisions, identifying unforeseen impacts and suggesting mitigation measures. However, recent guidance from EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi in June 2026 asserts that the EPA has 'broad discretion' in commenting or choosing not to comment, emphasizing that the primary responsibility for environmental review rests with the other agencies. Consequently, the EPA has, in many instances, ceased issuing meaningful substantive comments on other federal agencies' environmental decisions, even responding with 'no comments' to significant projects like a draft EIS for a uranium enrichment facility and a pro...
