Tell the EPA: No Dirty Water Rule

RE: Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2018-014

Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler:

The EPA’s proposal to drastically weaken Clean Water Act protections is unacceptable. The proposed rule would wipe out federal protection for streams that provide drinking water to tens of millions of people, and for wetlands that filter pollution and protect our communities from flooding.

Please abandon this proposed rollback and return to the 2015 Clean Water Rule, which helped protect drinking water sources for 117 million Americans.
