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.
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.
We urge all stakeholders to work with EPA to address these challenges so that the most comprehensive understanding of PFAS chemical occurrence possible can be undertaken.
