Help ensure protection for all streams and wetlands!
After years of legal assault against the Clean Water Act by developers and other polluters, the U.S. Supreme Court last month issued a confusing opinion that leaves the fate of 60% of the nation’s stream miles in a state of legal limbo. As expected, hostile lower courts are exploiting the ruling to weaken federal protections for smaller waterways and wetlands. A Texas court recently invoked the Supreme Court decision to strip safeguards against oil pollution in a tributary stream. Congress can fix this troubling situation by passing legislation restoring full federal protection for all our waters!
