Con la eliminación de protecciones para más de la mitad de 118 millones de acres de humedales, generaciones enfrentarán repercusiones negativas a raíz del fallo del supremo
A North Dakota judge blocked the Biden administration’s “Waters of the United States” rule in 24 states, putting our nation’s clean wetlands, rivers, streams, and drinking water jeopardy.
A federal district court in North Dakota stayed the Environmental Protection Agency’s science-based rule revising the definition of “Waters of the United States.” The ruling halts current clean water safeguards and potentially strips protections from many types of wetlands, streams, and interstate waters in 24 states.
“Protections for clean water are constantly under attack from polluting industries, and this will not be the last Republican attempt to significantly weaken the Clean Water Act during this Congress.”
The Biden Administration is expanding protections for waters in the United States through an updated rule to the Clean Water Act. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is still sitting on a case that could gut the Clean Water Act altogether.
