New Mexico Clean Water Restoration Act Factsheet
Since the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972, we have made great progress in cleaning up New Mexico’s waters. However, after Supreme Court rulings in 2001 and 2006, polluters have argued that the law no longer protects numerous wetlands, streams, rivers, lakes, and other waters historically covered by the Act. The Clean Water Authority Restoration Act is needed to restore the longstanding protections originally intended by Congress.
