Tell the Army Corps: Stop Rubberstamping Destruction of Our Waters!

[Guest guest]

This was sent to me via email from Earthjustice.

 

For more than thirty years, the Clean Water Act has provided critical

protections for America's rivers, streams, wetlands, and other

waters.

 

Key to this law's success is that careful environmental assessment

and public notice are required before a body of water can be

polluted, filled, or destroyed.

 

But now, the Army Corps of Engineers is trying to undermine these

safeguards, by rubberstamping many destructive projects while waiving

environmental review.

 

We need your help: please tell the Army Corps that Americans value

the strong protections of the Clean Water Act and don't want to see

these critical safeguards weakened!

Earthjustice has long been working through the courts to protect our

nation's waters, including:

 

Blocking an industry attempt to weaken Clean Water Act protections

against the dredging and filling of waters across the country;

 

Limiting destructive mountaintop removal coal mining in West

Virginia, which buries and pollutes waters throughout Appalachia; and

 

Calling on the EPA to adopt stronger regulations that actually reduce

water pollution harmful to fish and humans.
