Scientists cautious on predicting lake damage from acid rain
A review by outside experts prompted EPA scientists to retract a prior forecast that 300 lakes in the Northeast could become acidified within 50 years. The panel found large uncertainties in lake chemistry data and model predictions, leading to a cautious stance that only a few hundred lakes might be affected, with zero also possible.

Senate proposes 100 million reward for nuclear dump site
Senate Energy Committee chairman Sen. Bennett Johnston proposes a 100 million annual bonus to the state offering a site for the first permanent high level nuclear waste dump, plus 3 million annually for a related storage facility. The plan would delay a second dump, favor West Coast sites, and cites 25 billion in in-state costs as a deterrent.
