Attacks on Clean Water Act Have Reached a Crescendo

"Not since the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 have protections for the nation's waters been in greater jeopardy from attacks by polluting industries that are seeking to roll back the law. Efforts by polluters in the courts and before federal agencies are trying to effectively repeal the Clean Water Act for up to 60 percent of the nation's streams, creeks, and rivers and tens of millions of acres of wetlands." - quote by Joan Mulhern, senior legislative counsel for Earthjustice; quote appeared in this ENS article.
