My Testimony to EPA about its Toxic Water Proposal
On Thursday, December 19th I participated in a "virtual" public hearing on the Trump administration's dangerous plan to let dirty power plants dump even more pollution into our rivers, putting more communities at risk.

Clean Water Action on the confirmation of Andrew Wheeler to be Administrator of EPA
Washington, D.C. -- Today the Senate voted to confirm Andrew Wheeler’s nomination as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Clean Water Action President and CEO, Bob Wendelgass, released the following statement:
