WHAT YOU CAN DO to protect our water resources:
Support the EPA and US Army Corps of Engineers –
It’s critical we all have clean fresh water! The EPA and USACE are proposing a clarification of their rules that protect our water quality by addressing upstream impacts on downstream communities. Ending loopholes in the 1970’s Clean Water Act will stop the free dumping of toxins into small streams and wetlands. This will affect some farmers’ use of pesticides and herbicides; but it will encourage restoration of riverine corridors and wetlands that filter such toxins. In the long-run, a tighter Clean Water Act will benefit us all.
NWNL asks everyone to jump in here!!
— Read the proposal.
— Listen to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy on this ruling.
— Contact the EPA during its 90-day Comment Period.
