S787 Clean Water Restoration Act

Congress must enact the Clean Water Restoration Act to reaffirm Congress’ commitment to the Clean Water Act of 1972 and restore the Act’s geographic jurisdiction to that in existence prior to recent Supreme Court decisions (commonly referred to as the SWANCC and Rapanos cases, in 2001 and 2006, respectively). Senate Bill 787 (see related resource) would restore the Act's jurisdiction and protect our rivers, lakes and wetlands as intended.
