Clean Water is working to protect clean water and restore safeguards for our nation's wetlands and streams that feed our drinking water sources, filter pollution and protect communities from flooding.
On behalf of the undersigned 187 organizations and our millions of members and supporters across the country, we oppose the Trump administration’s attempt to repeal the 2015 Clean Water Rule and urge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw this proposed repeal.
Nutrient pollution from nitrogen and phosphorus runoff is one of the most pervasive water quality problems in the U.S., and there's increasing concern about its impact on drinking water.
The Definition of Waters of the U.S. under the Clean Water Act has concrete implications for source water protection and for drinking water quality, as it specifies whether the Clean Water Act’s pollution control programs should pertain to small streams, wetlands and certain other water bodies.
