Join me in helping to keep our nation's water clean!

[Guest guest]

Clean water is one of our most important resources. The Clean

Water Act was written to ensure that all of the nation's lakes,

rivers, coastal waters, streams, and wetlands are safe for

people to drink, swim and fish in, and to provide clean, healthy

habitats for fish and wildlife.

 

All of this depends on keeping the water free of pollution. But

now the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - the federal

agency charged with keeping the water clean - is proposing a

rule that would do just the opposite!

 

The new EPA rule threatens the health and safety of all of the

nation's lakes, rivers, coastal waters, streams, and wetlands.

Click below to join me in urging the EPA to withdraw its

proposal for this harmful rule before the August 7th deadline.

The proposed rule would threaten our health and the health of

fish and other wildlife by exempting projects that pump polluted

water into cleaner water sources from the Clean Water Act. For

example, under this new rule, polluted run-off could be pumped

from a canal system into a drinking water source without a

permit or any restrictions. This kind of activity is currently

prohibited by the Clean Water Act. Instead of preventing

pollution, the EPA's new plan would spread it from one body of

water to another.

 

The EPA is only accepting public comments on this dangerous

proposal until August 7, so click below to share your two cents

on this today!

Toxic chemicals, harmful algae, sewage and bacteria,

fish-killing sediment, invasive species - all of these

pollutants could be legally pumped from dirty water into clean

water under this proposed rule without any federal permit or

restrictions.

 

Under the Clean Water Act, the EPA is charged with making our

waters cleaner, NOT dirtier. Pumping polluted water into clean

water without a permit is dangerous and unacceptable and must

remain illegal under the Clean Water Act - click here to submit

your comments to the EPA now.

Watering down (no pun intended) the laws that protect our

environment is an insidious practice and is a direct route to a

public health and environmental disaster.

 

Once you've contacted the EPA, please click below to tell at

least three friends, family members or co-workers about this

urgent issue and encourage them to join you in submitting their

comments before the EPA stops accepting public input on August

7th.
