24 States Sue the E.P.A. for Renouncing Its Power to Fight Climate Change

The fate of my generation was at stake in the 1970s when disasters like the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill & burning Cuyahoga River convinced Nixon to create the #EPA & sign the #CleanAirAct & #CleanWaterAct. Our children face #endangerment today & need us to stand now.

Public comment for Iowa impaired waterways report ends soon The period for public comment on Iowa's impaired waterways report closes this week.The federal Clean Water Act requires the state to list potentially threatened rivers, lakes and streams every two

Public comment closes this week on Iowa’s impaired waterways report, which determines which rivers, lakes, and streams are considered polluted under the Clean Water Act. Advocates say nitrate pollution remains a major concern.
#Iowa #WaterQuality #CleanWaterAct

So the US is having water shortage problems, fossil fuel companies are polluting water sources, and now #TechBroBillionaries are trying to soak up more water with their data centers. #CleanAirAct #CleanWaterAct #SilentSpring2026

💘 Everybody loves clean water! Right now, the EPA is threatening to undermine 50 years of progress we've made under the #CleanWaterAct by weakening state power to protect our rivers, streams & drinking 💧.
Sign our petition telling the EPA not to weaken the CWA! https://loom.ly/QZG9UWQ

Tell the EPA: Don't weaken the Clean Water Act! Everyone deserves access to clean water — that’s why Congress passed the Clean Water Act more than 50 years ago. The law requires polluters to obtain permits for discharges of pollutants and fill material into waterways, and it requires states to set goals for cleaning up already-polluted waterways.

America’s clean 💧 is at risk. We need your voice to protect it!
Right now, the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency is moving to weaken the #CleanWaterAct — threatening local control & public health.

An EPA proposal would make it harder for tribes to protect their water - High Country News The agency’s plan would narrow water quality reviews and eliminate one of the few ways that tribes can their enforce treaty rights.

The EPA is proposing Clean Water Act changes that would sharply limit tribal authority to review federal projects, weakening treaty rights and narrowing water protections to pollution only. Fewer safeguards. Less sovereignty.

Weakening Section 401 would fast-track fossil fuel infrastructure while limiting states’ and Tribes’ ability to protect local water.

OPINION: They want to change the definition of ‘water.’ That's catastrophic for Nevada. - The Nevada Independent OPINION: They want to change the definition of ‘water.’ That's catastrophic for Nevada.

🔔 Op-ed: A proposed #CleanWaterAct rollback would strip protections from most desert waterways in Nevada, even though these dry channels help prevent floods and refill groundwater.

Water rule rollback stokes affordability concerns The Trump administration says the regulation will ease permitting expenses. Utilities say costs could shift to them and their customers.

The rollback of #CleanWaterAct protections could make water more expensive. Utilities say that losing wetlands & streams means higher treatment and flood control costs, which often show up in people’s water bills.

EPA proposes to curtail state and tribal power under Clean Water Act EPA proposed narrowing Section 401 reviews to direct water-quality discharges and imposing a one-year deadline, raising questions about local water protections.

EPA’s proposed Clean Water Act rule would narrow state and tribal authority, limit reviews to direct discharges, and impose a 1 year deadline, raising concerns about weakened local water protections and environmental justice.

Michigan City sustainability commission unanimously signs on to National Wildlife Federation opposition to proposed WOTUS rule The commission voted unanimously to sign a National Wildlife Federation letter opposing proposed rulemaking that would change the definition of 'waters of the United States' under the Clean Water Act, with members saying the proposal would weaken protections for Lake Michigan and other waters.

Michigan City's Sustainability Commission just took a stand, unanimously opposing a federal proposal that threatens the Clean Water Act and our precious Great Lakes!

EPA proposed rule could risk polluting 80% of U.S. wetlands. Tribes are worried As currently written, the proposed EPA rule would narrow the 1972 landmark law’s enforcement with estimates suggesting that 80% of the nation’s wetlands could be at risk.

A proposed EPA rule could leave up to 80% of U.S. wetlands at risk by narrowing #CleanWaterAct protections. Tribal leaders warn that this would weaken safeguards for waters that cross jurisdictions and affect downstream communities.

New Mexico waters insulated from federal changes to Clean Water Act coverage New Mexico's 2025 state permitting law will protect wetlands and ephemeral waters even as the Trump administration proposes narrowing the definition of waters covered by the Clean Water Act.

Even as federal #CleanWaterAct protections shrink, New Mexico passed a state law to protect wetlands and ephemeral streams that feed rivers like the Rio Grande.

A newly proposed rule would weaken the #CleanWaterAct by severely narrowing the scope of protected waters, letting billionaires and corporations dump pollution in more #wetlands and streams than ever before.

Delaware’s wetlands at risk as Trump administration seeks to remove protections Delaware is the only state in the mid-Atlantic that does not have a nontidal wetland protection program that exceeds federal baseline standards.

Critical freshwater and saltwater habitats that are not 'navigable' or have a 'continuous surface connection' are at risk of losing protections under new federal proposal to limit the Clean Water Act.

The EPA Is Gutting the Clean Water Act, Which Has Protected Fish and Game for 53 Years The EPA has announced changes to the Clean Water Act that will make streams and wetlands vulnerable to pollution across the country.

“And clean water is perhaps the one thing every single American would agree is super important.”
