Green Amendments For The Generations

This is why it's so important that we secure an environmental rights amendment ASAP:Supreme Court's decision strips Clean Water Act protections from nearly all streams and rivers in New Mexico."New Mexico, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are the only states without permitting power to regulate how much pollution is in their surface water, making them dependent on federal protections from mining activities, wastewater, agricultural runoff and industrial pollution."The Sackett v Environmental Protection Agency decision issued by the supreme court last May could affect more than half of the nation’s wetlands and up to 4.9m miles of streams, an agency official told CNN. In a landmark ruling, the court found that only “relatively permanent” streams, and wetlands with a “continuous surface connection”, are subject to Clean Water Act protections under the guidance of the EPA."www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/16/new-mexico-rivers-most-threatened#SackettvEPA #EPA #CleanWaterAct #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #Rivers #AmericanRivers #CleanWater #Pollution ...
