to operate under one permit. They
benefit and the public benefits.
It's a balanced approach I'm real-
ly working on."
Few real bad guys
He said the last two years have
confirmed for him: his, belief that
in .the vast majority of cases there
really are no bad guys.
McCabe said that he feels that
the last 25 years - "ever since the
first Earth Day" - have produced a
real change in American industry.
"Industry now accepts its obliga-
tion to protect the environment
and it's not just trying to tear
down the laws, We're working
toward common sense solutions.
At the same time I think the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency is
realizing that one size doesn't fit
all and that it's better to use flexi-
bility to achieve desired results."
He also noted that EPA supports
mentoring programs to help small
companies. "Rather than just
levying fines against large compa-
nies when they violate," Said Mc-
Cabe, "sometimes we have them
supply one of their engineers to
help a smaller company in terms
of environmental engineering."
McCabe said he was particular-
ly satisfied by the Inland Bays
grass planting project because of
th e promise it offers of helping to
restore good health to the system.
McCabe lives in the Wilming-.
ton area and works at the regional
office in Philadelphia. "I stay on
the go. In the month of May I was
only in the office for four days. I
enjoy this work tremendously."
Staying on the go is particularly
challenging for Mike McCabe
whose crippled legs require his
constant use of crutches.
B'ut that doesn't slow the Re-
gional Administrator, even from a
boat trip, because he likes to stay
close to the work in which he's in-
volvod.
Eel grass

feet of eel grasses now in the bays,
which amounts to a few isolated
plots of grass," most of which are
close to Indian River Inlet where
water quality tends to be the best.
That is the result of efforts last
year to re-plant some grass and
those efforts have succeeded.
Those efforts have not been
easy. The initial success several
seasons ago ended when the new

grass was raked up and killed by
recreational clammers who were
simply clamming too close to the
beds.
The grant money will allow a
far larger area of the bays to be
planted with the grasses, some-
thing which will have far more
impact than the scattered plots
planted thus far.
"It is the way of the future [pro-
tecting the inland bays] to provide
something for our children and
grandchildren," said Kent Price,
the chairman of the Center for the
Inland Bays.
