EPA throat punched the Clean Water Act

January 28, 2020 By Tom Sadler

EPA is wrong, so very wrong.

You can bet on gravity every time. Whatever is in our headwaters will ultimately end up in our own backyards. Headwaters and wetlands are some of the most important components to our network of streams and rivers. They’re like the capillaries in our bodies. If they’re unhealthy, so is everything else. Americans should not, and will not, allow our water to be jeopardized in this way.”  -Chris Wood, president and CEO of Trout Unlimited

This is a final rule, so options to fight it are pretty limited. I expect we will see this headed to the courts.

Stay tuned.
