We only have 30 days to respond to the Trump admin’s latest

Oppose the Trump Admin’s Attacks on Waterways

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just
proposed a rule that would leave at least 94 percent of U.S.
wetlands and 79 percent of streams without critical Clean Water
Act protection, in yet another handout to corporate polluters.

At stake: clean drinking water, natural flood
protection, and wildlife habitat.

And the administration is only giving us until October 9th to
respond.

Join the national outcry: Submit a public comment
shaming the EPA for its disastrous plan to open up our waterways
to polluters. ( [link removed] )

TAKE ACTION ( [link removed] )

Public comments are a powerful tool to
hold the government accountable. When NRDC members and activists
speak up, it helps us build a strong legal case against federal
agencies that break the law.

Dear NRDC Activist,

Trump’s EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers have just declared
open season on our nation’s waterways.

They want to change the criteria that determine which waterways
are protected from harmful pollution under the Clean Water Act —
opening up the vast majority of our wetlands and streams to
corporate polluters.

We need these protections to stand. The
administration is accepting public comments on this latest attack
on clean water, but only until October 9. Make your voice heard
in defense of our critical waterways now. ( [link removed] )

Before the Clean Water Act, sewage, oil, chemical wastes, and
heavy metals were dumped indiscriminately into our rivers,
streams, and wetlands … polluters devastated our drinking water
sources … and industry harmed precious ecosystems with little
consequence.

A Supreme Court decision several years
ago severely curtailed the law’s protections, especially for
wetlands, threatening the law’s achievements and increasing harm
to our waterways. And now, the administration is doubling down on
its efforts to take us back to rivers choked with pollution,
waterways unsafe for fishing and swimming, and contaminated
drinking water.

The first step to stopping them is to
raise a public outcry: Submit a public comment demanding clean
water protections. ( [link removed] )

The Trump administration’s first proposal to give our waters to
polluters last November would have left about 81 percent of
wetlands without protection. Nearly 24,000 NRDC supporters like
you voiced their opposition to that plan.

This most recent proposal is even more
devastating: Almost all of our nation’s wetlands
and over three-quarters of our streams would be opened to
pollution and destruction… and we need your help again.

Wetlands are critical for:
* Clean drinking water. Wetlands filter nitrogen (which can cause
dangerous algae outbreaks) and toxic metals from water as it
flows toward drinking water sources.
* Protections against extreme weather. Wetlands act as natural
flood barriers, soaking up massive amounts of water during storm
surges before they can damage communities — events that are
getting more frequent and more severe with worsening climate
change.
* Healthy ecosystems. Even though they only cover about 5 percent
of the continental United States, wetlands support nearly half of
all species listed as threatened or endangered.

We must show this administration we won’t be
ignored. Raise your voice opposing this latest attack on wetlands
— and help us overwhelm the EPA — by submitting a public comment
before October 9. ( [link removed] )

Public comments are the best way to create a
public record and it’s a critical first step to building a case
against this dangerous administration. The government is legally
obligated to consider your input. And if they ignore the public,
NRDC can sue the Trump administration on behalf of members like
you.

While we mobilize nationwide public opposition to
these attacks on clean water, NRDC is preparing to go to court if
the Trump administration pursues their reckless plan to gut the
Clean Water Act. We have a long history of ensuring clean water
for all and have already fought multiple times in court and won
to protect waters covered by the Clean Water Act and hold
polluters accountable.

With your help, we can win. Join the outcry.
Submit a public comment in defense of our waterways today. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Jon Devine

Director, Freshwater Ecosystems, NRDC

The mission of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals,
