“Today’s action is a strong, balanced, and thoughtful effort to protect our nation’s water. This new rule will benefit the American public by promoting clean water, a healthy and abundant food supply, and thriving wildlife — while also recognizing and supporting the vital role played by our nation’s farmers and ranchers. Congress should not interfere with these important science-based protections.” - Elizabeth Thompson, president of EDFAction
