"Dems Mount Effort To Restore Wetland Protections"

"More than 100 House Democrats are marking the anniversary of the nation’s landmark water law with a push to restore wetlands protections in the aftermath of a landmark Supreme Court decision.

Lawmakers and advocates gathered Wednesday to unveil the “Clean Water Act of 2023” and rage against the fallout from Sackett v. EPA, which gutted protections for most of the nation’s wetlands.

Under the new legislation, Congress would clarify the scope of “protected water resources” under the original Clean Water Act with the intent of mitigating Sackett‘s impact."
