Stop Trump’s Assault on Vital Drinking Water Supplies

The Trump administration just finalized plans to gut the Clean Water Rule, slashing protective clean water safeguards and opening the door for fossil fuel giants, factory farms, and other industrial polluters to contaminate thousands of vital water ways that feed the drinking water supplies of more than 117 million Americans.

The landmark Clean Water Act has protected our drinking water supplies, swimming spots and fishing holes from dangerous pollution for nearly 50 years, and the Clean Water Rule was established to clearly define which bodies of water — rivers, streams, and wetlands — are protected.

Trump’s undoing of these critical drinking water protections is a reckless attempt to reward big polluter industry allies and threatens our clean water supplies. And while NRDC is fighting to stop this repeal, we need you to stand up against this attack on clean water.

Sign the petition protesting Trump’s misguided attack on our clean water, our environment, and our health.

(Consider adding your own thoughts — personalized messages are especially effective)

Dear President Trump, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:

I am outraged that you are repealing the Clean Water Rule — which contains vital protections that keep our drinking water safe. And why? To appease polluter industry allies that wish to contaminate our waters.

The Clean Water Rule was established under the Clean Water Act and has helped to clearly define bodies of water that should be protected — including waterways that feed the drinking water supplies of more than 117 million Americans.

The Clean Water Rule has also protected important waterways and wetlands, including wetlands that filter pollution, but this repeal will now give fossil fuel giants, factory farms, and other industrial polluters a greenlight to pollute thousands of critical waterways we rely on for drinking water.

This repeal makes no scientific, public health, or fiscal sense, and is ultimately illegal. NRDC has consistently fought this misguided decision  — and many Americans — stand with them in REJECTION of your reckless polluter giveaway.
