Trump Removes Pollution Controls on Streams and Wetlands
Jan 23, 2020 13:27:26 #
The new water rule will remove federal protections from more than half the nation’s wetlands, and hundreds of thousands of small waterways. That would for the first time in decades allow landowners and property developers to dump pollutants such as pesticides and fertilizers directly into many of those waterways, and to destroy or fill in wetlands for construction projects.
“This will be the biggest loss of clean water protection the country has ever seen,” said Blan Holman, a lawyer specializing in federal water policy at the Southern Environmental Law Center. “This puts drinking water for millions of Americans at risk of contamination from unregulated pollution. This is not just undoing the Obama rule. This is stripping away protections that were put in place in the ’70s and ’80s that Americans have relied on for their health.”

Yet trump can go on and on about how important clean water and air is and how we have the cleanest in the world (definitely a lie) while he guts the laws that made it this way.

That's because the EPA used to classify a rain puddle on your property as a wetland! So much BS! Even the courts have ruled how ridiculous some of the regulations are. This is one reason why Brett Kavanaugh was appointed to SCOTUS. He is an expert on Administrative law and the abuses inherent in the bureaucracy. The EPA was abusive to property owners. This issue is not as one-sided as you think.

And I doubt that the law will allow these places to be polluted

While we're hearing about the epidemic of contaminated drinking water. The last indicator suggests that the contamination is MUCH worse than previously thought. Removing federal and State oversight of water ways that replenish drinking water supplies, is sure to correct that massive contamination.
It's a National tragedy that humpty dumpty hasn't hired a single person that knows what the &#$% they're doing.

Trump wants to turn this country into a s**t hole so polluted water and air are first on the list.
And as our highways and bridges fail and our power grid is vulnerable to hackers ,he will say well done.

I'm smart enough to know that you don't drink downstream from your horse, or stand behind him when he farts!
