Scott Pruitt's EPA Moves To Replace Rule Protecting Drinking Water For 117 Million - GoFuckYourself.com

GOP = Greedy Old Polluters

The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday inched closer to proposing a regulation to replace a rule that clarified which bodies of water qualified for federal protection.

The proposal comes more than a year after EPA administrator Scott Pruitt signed an executive action to revoke the 2015 Clean Water Rule, also known as the Waters of the United States, or WOTUS, rule. The regulation clarified which wetlands and streams could be protected under the Clean Water Act and expanded federal authority to all “navigable” waters. That extended the federal safeguards to 2 million miles of streams and 20 million acres of wetlands, securing the drinking water of more than 117 million Americans.

But a federal judge stayed the Clean Water Rule in 2015; the rule has since bounced around the courts. In January, the Supreme Court volleyed the case back to the district court level. In the meantime, Pruitt began the process of repealing the rule outright.

That's funny. I thought his job was to protect the environment. Oh wait, Trump installed anti-environmentalist as the head of the EPA...because that makes total sense.

His job is to protect big business and pillage the coffers to set himself and his family up for life

LOL. No one needs clean drinking water.

Seriously. It's almost like their entire goal is to destroy the country.
