  16. The Trump admin's newly proposed changes to the #CleanWaterAct would reduce or eliminate environmental protections in the Bay Area and across the U.S.

    “This proposed rule could strip protections from the vast majority of wetlands in California, which are necessary to protect Bay Area communities from rising seas," as Baykeeper senior scientist Ian Wren said in a statement. "We can’t protect the Bay’s ecosystem and clean water if the law no longer recognizes the wetlands that make it possible."

  21. #EPA Rule Would Drastically Curb Protections for #Wetlands

    The proposal could strip federal protections from most U.S. wetlands, some of which feed drinking water systems.

    Reporting from the Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters in Washington
    Nov. 17, 2025

    "The Trump administration proposed on Monday to significantly limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to limit pollution in wetlands, rivers and other bodies of water across the country.

    "The proposed rule could strip federal protections from millions of acres of wetlands and streams, potentially threatening sources of clean drinking water for millions of Americans. It was a victory for a range of business interests that have lobbied to scale back the #CleanWaterAct of 1972, including farmers, home builders, #RealEstateDevelopers, oil drillers and #petrochemical manufacturers."

  26. A 2023 #SCOTUS decision set the stage for the action by limiting the agency’s power to police #wetlands. In the opinion in Sackett v. EPA, Justice #Alito wrote that the #CleanWaterAct allowed the #EPA to regulate only wetlands with a “continuous surface connection” to a “relatively permanent” body of #water.

    But he did not explicitly define a “relatively permanent” body of water. Now, the #Trump admin is describing it as a body of water that flows year-round or during the “wet season.”

  41. I am supremely confident that some minister, who is totally not having a massage with a lobbyist or property developer, will always do what's right in order to protect the water supply for communities large and small. No need to be concerned that the sale of Stag & Doe tickets will somehow poison me or cause E.coli deaths. Absolutely trustworthy.
