We secured a big win for our environment. Thanks to our lawsuit and the Biden Administration’s new rule — we are repairing the Clean Water Act to protect water rights and our environment.
Donald Trump attempted to gut a long-standing Clean Water Act provision. As a result, states and Native American tribes lost crucial input on the development of fossil fuel projects that can impact water quality in communities for generations to come.
Washington led a coalition of states and environmental groups to challenge the Trump Administration policy in federal court. We won. A federal court vacated the rule nationwide.
But the Trump Administration filed an emergency appeal to the US Supreme Court. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court allowed Trump's rule to go forward while the Trump Administration appealed the trial court's decision. Washington continued to press our case.
The Biden Administration recently issued a new proposed rule that shifts power back to states, tribes, and territories, giving them the power to protect their own water supplies — a massive improvement over the Trump Administration’s rule.
