The setbacks for this regulation is controversial when some groups see and believes that climate change and global warming is real as pollutions in our air and water is one of the major cause. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers have proposed a landmark rule clarifying longstanding Clean Water Act protections for many but not all streams, wetlands, and other waters that are important to fish and wildlife, our communities, and our economy. Called for by voices on all sides of the debate and the Supreme Court, this rule relies on the best scientific understanding of stream and wetland science. The rule promises to clarify the scope of the Clean Water Act, reinforce the Act’s legal and scientific foundations, provide greater long-term certainty for landowners, and enhance protection for America’s streams, wetlands, and other waters.
