The short explanation of this alert was:

photo of discharge into Lake OkeechobeeTransferring dirty, contaminated water into drinking water supplies poses grave public health threats, and under the Clean Water Act is illegal without a federal permit.

But now, the Environmental Protection Agency is proposing a misguided rule that would allow polluted water to be dumped into another body of water without a permit or any restrictions. The proposal, if adopted, threatens the health of all of our nation’s waters.

Deadline extended: The agency is now accepting public comment until August 7. Please tell the EPA that pumping polluted water into clean water without a permit is unacceptable and should remain illegal under the Clean Water Act.

Personalized letters are much more effective: Why is keeping our nation's waters clean important to you?
