"Bush made a whirlwind morning visit to Conshohocken to sign into law a five-year plan to provide up to $250 million a year to states, local governments and Indian tribes to clean up polluted industrial sites known as brownfields.The legislation also helps protect cities and businesses from lawsuits as they seek to develop brownfield sites. Many had shied away, fearing they would be held responsible for toxic waste cleanup."
