EPA announced $5 million in federal funding for the Southeast New England Program, and the release quotes Keating saying he was an original supporter and proud that the grants would support research to ensure watersheds are properly maintained into the future.

Congress.gov lists Keating among the cosponsors of H.R. 7543, a bill requiring EPA to limit pre-production plastic pellet pollution; the bill was introduced and referred to committee.

This is recent, concrete action aimed at a pollution source directly aligned with the promise, but it remains only introduced legislation.
