We still have to live with at least 3 more years of this!
What happens when Washington’s top environmental policymaker packs a
government advisory board with federal grant recipients so she can
regulate virtually every acre in the United States of America?
For one thing, two powerful members of Congress angrily take notice
and demand in a news release to know why “EPA Skirts the Law to Expand
Regulatory Authority.”
That’s also the point of a letter sent Friday by House Science,
Space, and Technology Committee Chairman Lamar Smith of Texas and Rep.
Chris Stewart of Utah, chairman of its environment subcommittee, to
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy.
Smith and Stewart are outraged by a proposed EPA rule – the “Water
Body Connectivity Report” – that would remove the limiting word
“navigable” from “navigable waters of the United States” and replace it
with “connectivity of streams and wetlands to downstream waters” as the
test for Clean Water Act regulatory authority.
