The short explanation of this alert was:
On May 3, the Bush administration signed a rule that reversed a twenty-five year old Clean Water Act regulation to, for the first time, allow the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to issue permits allowing polluters to fill our nation's waters with waste material. Finalizing this ill-considered rule will give polluters the green light to use streams, rivers, and wetlands all over the country as waste dumps. Representatives Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Christopher Shays (R-CT) have introduced a bill, H.R. 4683, that would clarify that it is illegal under the Clean Water Act for the Bush administration to try to allow our nation's streams, rivers and wetlands to be buried in wastes and destroyed forever. Please ask your representative to cosponsor this important bill.
