Join Us In May In Washington For the Annual Fly-In
2018 could be the year of infrastructure in Washington, D.C. and the construction industry must be involved as the federal funding program is developed. The Transportation Construction Coalition, ARTBA and AGC are once again co-hosting the annual “Fly-In” to Washington D.C. to let members of Congress know that they must create a long-term fix for the country’s highway funding program. This is your chance to discuss our industry’s needs with your members of Congress and to impress upon them the importance of addressing the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund.
This year’s Fly-In will be on May 15th and 16th. OCA staff and members will be attending.
At the TCC legislative briefing on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 15th you will receive information about what policy and funding proposals are being considered. You will hear from key policy makers from Capitol Hill and the Administration and receive educational briefing materials on key industry priorities for your use in meeting with your congressional delegation.
The transportation construction industry cannot afford to miss this opportunity to help shape the future of our Nation's infrastructure investment. Join hundreds of other industry leaders from around the country in delivering our message to Capitol Hill May 15-16 in Washington D.C. This year's meeting will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at 1000 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C 20001. The hotel will sell out, so we encourage you to make your reservations as soon as possible with the Grand Hyatt by calling 888-421-1442. Mention the group name TCC Fly-In for the $329 per night room rate.
If you have questions, please contact Angela at [email protected].
Feedback Needed on Ohio EPA Draft NPDES Construction Storm Water General Permit
The Ohio EPA is asking for feedback on its draft General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Storm Water associated with construction activity. It includes a number of substantive changes to the storm water pollution prevention program requirements and post-construction practices. You can access the public notice, fact sheet, and draft general permit on the Ohio EPA website.
OCA will be submitting comments as part of a coalition of affected groups. Any feedback you could provide regarding proposed permit changes would be helpful in formulating our comments. Please send any comments to [email protected]. If you’re interested in submitting comments directly to the Ohio EPA, the deadline is April 4. We’d appreciate a copy of your comments, if possible, to assist us in our analysis.
