WASHINGTON, D.C. – May 28, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers issued the final Clean Water Rule earlier today:
“I’m so pleased to see the Clean Water Rule finalized today by the Administration. The final rule clarifies Clean Water Act jurisdiction after previous court decisions left one in three people across our nation in danger of losing access to clean drinking water. This long-overdue rule will provide certainty for businesses and agriculture, and I will work to make sure it is implemented fairly. Clean water is something everyone deserves.”
