Graves & Rouzer Joint Statement on EPA's Final Rule that Reinforces Weaponization of Clean Water Act to Block Infrastructure Projects
Press Release
Issues: Infrastructure
"The Clean Water Act Section 401 final rule is unfortunately just another example of the Biden Administration's hostility towards completing infrastructure projects. This new rule still allows for states to singlehandedly torpedo crucial development of interstate energy and infrastructure projects for reasons unrelated to the Clean Water Act. If you want a solution to this problem, look no further than the House-passed H.R. 1, which contains a provision from our committee to ensure that Clean Water Act water quality standards are the focus of Section 401 reviews, and that bureaucratic activism isn't allowed to block infrastructure projects. Disappointingly, this rule does not properly address either."
