"A federal judge in South Carolina has issued an injunction to block the Trump administration's move to delay a clean water rule intended to prevent pollution from being released into bodies of water like creeks, lakes and streams...

"EPA was working to change definitions in the rule that would have drastically rolled back protections.

"Similar to other rulings that have gone against rules delayed or rolled back under the Trump administration, South Carolina District Judge David Norton ruled that the government did not follow proper procedure in delaying the rule and suspended the EPA's decision, specifically by not considering public comment in its decision."

Well, who needs clean water to wash down fast food hamburgers, fries, and a coke, the preferred diet of our current White House occupant?

And I guess we could also ask why we should have a public comments procedure on proposed federal rules.

What did Trump mean exactly, when he said, 'Make America great again'?

Only dirty slime balls poison clean water.

The clean water act Passed in 1972 and amended in 1977 and 1987, the Clean Water Act was originally known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

My family is in the commercial fishng industry. And we know what a change it has made. One of the best laws passed in a long time.
Before that every scrap of garbage from Manhatan NYC went onto barges towed just off shore, set on fire then pushed off barges into Atlantic Ocean,
Our Oceans are still in critical conditions but clean water act has help a lot.
