The Supreme Court’s misguided Sackett v. EPA decision recently stripped protections for half of the nation's vital wetlands and community waterways.

By eliminating Clean Water Act protections for wetlands that don’t have a “continuous surface connection” to larger bodies, the Supreme Court is tying the hands of the federal government to ensure we have safe, clean water. These wetlands and community waterways are now more vulnerable to pollution and development threats.

This is why ELPC and our allies are stepping up to fill the gap across the Midwest.
