Why Congress Needs to Fix the Clean Water Act

"For decades, the Clean Water Act protected the Nations surface water bodies from unregulated pollution and rescued them from the crisis status they were in during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Now these vital protections are being lost. This report details the threat to our Nations waters by examining dozens of case studies, and highlights the urgent need for Congress to restore full Clean Water Act protections to our waters." - excerpt from the report, Courting Disaster: How the Supreme Court Has Broken the Clean Water Act and Why Congress Must Fix It published by Earthjustice, Environment America, Clean Water Action, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, and Southern Environmental Law Center.
