Dear John, The EPA and the Army Corps recently announced an interim replacement rule to the last administration's "Dirty Water Rule." This new rule is an improvement but still inadequate. The Biden administration has promised to carry out a second rulemaking process sometime later this year, but the exact timeline and content are unknown. Meanwhile, certain polluting industry interest groups are lobbying against the implementation of an adequate science-based rule. ASBN is organizing a sign-on comment to the EPA and Army Corps making the business case for the agencies to move promptly to adopt strong, robust federal clean water protections that are rooted in science and consistent with the objective of the Clean Water Act. Learn more here and sign on to the cross-industry business letter now. Tell the EPA and Army Corps that businesses support clean water protections! Comments are due on Monday, February 7th. | |
