About this Petition Pledge Petition Updates

Since passed by Congress in 1972, the Clean Water Act has protected our nation's lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands from unregulated pollution and destruction.

Today, however-because of two Supreme Court rulings-many water bodies are being denied the Act's protections against pollution.

Polluters argue that the Supreme Court made the law only apply to "navigable" water bodies, excluding numerous waters that were historically covered and jeopardizing the safety of the drinking water supply of hundreds of millions of Americans. Ambiguous federal agency policy directives have helped these attacks.
