Coast Guard Promotes Lighthouse Preservation Efforts
The Coast Guard seeks to preserve 450 unmanned lighthouses by leasing to agencies and individuals when possible. Nine lighthouses have already been leased to historic groups, states, or private owners, with Chicago Light a notable private lease. The program aims to deter decay while keeping lighthouses as maritime heritage symbols, though keepers are not restored as a fixed practice.

EPA tightening lead rules signals major EPA shift
The EPA plans to require a further 31 percent reduction of lead in gasoline over eight years, reversing earlier plans to weaken standards. Kathleen Bennett's memo urges stricter limits, aiming to curb lead across refineries while easing some burden on small refiners. The move comes amid strong public opposition to any relaxation and amid warnings of continued lead poisoning risks for children.
