Good news: Two federal courts have struck down Trump's disastrous "Dirty Water Rule" — a giveaway to big polluters that allowed them to contaminate vital streams, water ways, wetland and other water bodies with no repercussions, threatening the drinking water systems of more than 100 million people.

Now President Biden's EPA and Army Corps of Engineers are accepting public comments on a proposal to restore the vital Clean Water Act protections for many waters that were targeted by the Trump rule. It's a good first step, but we also need the Biden administration to move promptly towards adopting strong federal clean water protections that are rooted in science to protect streams, wetlands, and lakes on which families and communities depend — and help fight climate change.
