Support the Clean Water for All Act

The Clean Water for All Act (H.R. 6745) has three primary goals:

  • To reaffirm Congress’ commitment to clean water.
  • To uphold and restore bipartisan Clean Water Act protection.
  • To overturn the Trump administration’s dangerous Navigable Waters Protection Rule, also known as the “Dirty Water Rule. This rule is the most severe regulatory rollback of clean water protections in the history of the Clean Water Act.

The Clean Water for All Act recognizes that access to clean water is a fundamental right and necessary to sustain life and economic livelihood.

The Dirty Water Rule significantly undermines clean water protections for streams, rivers, and wetlands that have been in place for nearly forty years and which have enjoyed bipartisan support. Congress needs to block this risky and unjustified rollback in water protections.

Putting Drinking Water First to Address Nutrient Pollution

Nutrient pollution from nitrogen and phosphorus runoff is one of the most pervasive water quality problems in the U.S. and there is increasing concern about their impact on drinking water.

Carbon Capture and Release

Injecting captured carbon underground to produce more oil is promoted as a climate mitigation policy. This 2018 report exposes these oversight failures and challenges the assertion that federal subsidies for carbon used in enhanced oil recovery could ever be considered an effective climate mitigation policy.

Factsheet | Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR)

As a known threat to drinking water sources, enhanced oil recovery is regulated by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act Underground Injection Control program. Our research has found this program to be inadequate in protecting groundwater, relying on outdated rules, and insufficient data collection and staffing levels to ensure safety.
