How will reducing acid rain affect the environment?
Americans will benefit from the Acid Rain Program in a number of ways. Lakes and streams affected by acid rain will be able to recover, restoring fish and other life. Visibility will improve, in the East by more than 30 percent, allowing for increased enjoyment of scenic beauty. The vitality of forests, particularly the red spruce forests that populate mountain ridges from Maine to Georgia, will be restored, and the Acid Rain Program will preserve our cultural heritage by protecting historical buildings and monuments.
