the findings are significant in that the epa can unilaterally stop the mine. >> it's outrageous that somebody would stop a project before a project proponent even had a chance to make the plans public. i don't think that's the kind of reputation our country wants to start to get if we want to start to have any kind of investment in large projects. so i think it would set a terrible precedent. >> the future of the pebble mine project took center stage in anchorage tonight. >> about 400 people showed up... >> narrator: in anchorage, many alaskans reacted angrily to the epa's involvement. when the agency called for a series of public hearings to discuss their draft assessment, john shively wasn't the only one who felt that the federal government was intruding in the state's affairs. >> what's so offensive is to have the epa come in without any permit authority and usurping the rights that we have here in our state to go through this process. >> narrator: more than half the speakers objected to the epa's assessment. their slogan was "hands off alaska." >> you have just scared away every

the epa now kills people. this doctor happens to be a u.s. nator, senator john barosso from wyoming. what do you mean? >> i'm a member of the environmental committee and red tape is making americans sick because of the high unemployment rate. when people are out of work for longs periods of time as we are seeing. those folks are out of work that want to go to work more incidents of illness and hospitalizations of premature death. it's because these incredible numbers of rules and regulations that are costly to our economy and add very little benefit to the environment. >> john: after years of consumer reporting i came to the same conclusion. i assume when you say to most people, what are you talking about the epa makes the world cleaner and that has to be good for our health. a reaction to unemployment making people sick? what? >> if you take a look where we used to be 40 years, the air is cleaner, water is cleaner. we're now at a point to get a very small improvement is very expensive in terms of actual dollars in production of energy as well

tavis: what is the essence of your beef with the epa? too big a question? >> i have to mind my matters when we talk about this. it is frustrating for me. i felt this agency was in place to protect us and over the past 20 years and all the communities i have been in, there are absent. i believe for a host of reasons, they are overstaffed and understaffed and their under burden. they are flat out broke. these agencies when they do get their come in and initiate for a cleanup because what they're going to do is see the defendant any way for a cleanup. because it has gotten so big so fast, they cannot even get in and clean up most of the sites we have. there is any or estimated between 15 to 30,000 superfund sites that exist today that we are not cleaning up. i am involved in cases where the epa is involved and they were a little too late. they showed up 30 years later. i came back from minnesota. on the number one superfund site. nobody in the community knew. i do not know where the ball has been dropped. it is insanity. it is inexcusable. it is an agency that

we talked to christine todd whitman who was the epa administrator under george w. bush and she said i have been appalled. she can't understand why the republican party has turned its back on its own legacy of environmental stewardship through the decades. we talked to william reilly, george w. bush's administrator and he feels the same way. doesn't understand this. there are a lot of republicans who are uncomfortable with it and we need to communicate this to our elective leaders and let them know we are not going to be run roughshod over people carrying the smokestack agenda on capitol hill and let this party know it is going to have to return to its roots, its environmental history and its conservative roots. conservative tenets of thrift and energy independence. we quote t.s. eliot in the book. he is generally thought of as the most learned man of letters to be a conservative voice in the 20th century and he has a wonderful -- i am not going to kid you. he wrote it 80 years ago. the images in it are stock. t. s. eliot in one of the most famous lines in the wastel

why do we need the epa any more. you did it it's like unions an child labor laws. we don't need those things any more because they figured their problems. now they can go. >> one of the things we worry a lot about is back sliding. and we aren't done. it was not until this past year that we finally set a national standard in this country to deal with mercury. >> stephen: what's wrong with mercury. i break up the thermometers and paint my face like a tin manment it was fun. and i would play with my pet ingut leady. what is mercury do. >> we are going to ask you not to do that any more. >> i don't, leadie went to a farm upstate. why should i worry about mercury. >> mercury is a neurotoxin it is toxic to the brain. and the place we see it, it's manifestations is in children. mercury can affect a child before he or she is born and we can measure the affects of mercury pollution by a loss in iq points it stays around a long time. it's like lead and so that's why there are places where we can't fish because mercury is coming up the food chain and could affect our bodies. >

the provisions and priorities, a small amount of funding to assist farmers in the epa area is currently in 174 countiecoun particularly in nine states across the country to address serious air quality concerns from agriculture operations to help them meet their requirements as it relates to dust control levels and pm 10 and pm 2.5. this would provide opportunities for farmers within dealing within rcs to be able to continue partnering and highly efficient approaches for tackling the nation's most severe air quality challenges in those non-attainment zones. we've had great success in the last three years in california. we've had 1100 agricultural producers and implement projects that have significantly reduced as much as five times per day the equivalent of an essence removing 408,000 cars from the highways. that's the level of air quality improvement. let me just finally say that this provision prioritizes a small amount of the funding to assist farmers in the following epa non-attainment areas that include arizona, colorado, illinois, montana, new york, ohio, pennsylvania and texas, no
