“Navigable Waters Protection Rule.”

A coalition of 17 states has sued EPA over recently published “Navigable Waters Protection Rule.”  This reckless rollback ignores science, taking too many wetlands and other important waterways out of Clean Water Act jurisdiction, putting public health at risk. At a time when we need being healthy more than ever before, protecting the public from toxic pollutants should be a priority instead of weakening our environmental protections. Among many other things, these roll backs would make it impossible for groups like Atchafalaya Basinkeeper to protect isolated wetlands from being developed or from becoming toxic waste sites.
