The polluters and other regulated interests have not given up their attempts to weaken the Act; instead they have turned to law suits, and to back-door de-regulatory processes that rely on re-writing the rules and changing the detailed instructions on how to enforce and implement the Act on the ground.
This bill assures that every body of water in the United States is covered by the protections of the Act.
