Dirty Water Bills: May 2012 Update

Check out the latest update on Dirty Water Bills on Capitol Hill. http://www.cleanwaternetwork.org/node/816

May Updates: CWN signed on to a group letter urging Congress to oppose Section 110 of the Energy and Water Development 2013 Appropriations bill, which would bar the Army Corps of Engineers from restoring longstanding Clean Water Act protections to critical streams and wetlands across the nation. Section 110 would endanger America’s waterways and put the interests of polluters over those of the public. The letter also urged Congress to support an amendment offered by Representative Moran that would allow the Army Corps to do its job and clarify confusion around Clean Water Act protections.
