Trump is Reducing Clean Water Protection in the United States

Position Overview

The EPA is withdrawing from the 2015 Rule that manages American water ways which reduces the amount of water (water ways) that the agency governs.  

This action is being taken because of Executive Order linked below.

Water is only second to clean air as the most important resource on earth.

Every living thing on earth depends on clean water.  It is necessary to life and to a safe and healthy environment.

It is the responsibility of all people and governments to maintain a healthy environment.

Water, no matter where it is, needs to be kept clean, safe and natural.

The EPA should be in the lead on protecting clean water and not withdrawing from protecting United States waterways.

The EPA needs to expand clean water protections by not only maintaining the 2015 Rule but expand the EPA's regulatory protection to all water in the United States.
