New York Attorney General (AG), Letitia James, and a Coalition of more than a Dozen AGs on Friday, Announced a Legal Challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers over a Rollback of Clean Water Regulations.
At issue is the Recodification Rule, which was Finalized in October 2019, Replacing a Definition in the Clean Water Rule for Waters Protected by the Act.
The AGs say the Change is a more Narrow Definition that doesn’t Reflect Current Science.
“Access to clean water is a fundamental right for all New Yorkers and Americans,” James said.
This Regressive Rule ignores Science, the Law, and Strips our Waters of Basic Protections under the Clean Water Act.
AGs across this Nation will Not Stand by as the Trump Administration seeks to Reverse Decades of Progress we’ve made in Fighting Water Pollution.
