EPA has long been stacked with leftist advocates who eagerly sabotage clean, smart, vital development projects.
EPA regulators have been using the Clean Water Act as a major tool to crush our free markets under the heavy hand of government.
CFACT has joined a coalition of organizations organized to demand reform.
CFACT’s Melanie Collette reports:
CFACT has officially joined the newly formed Fix the EPA Veto Coalition, a broad alliance pressing the Trump administration to issue a strong executive order reining in the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to retroactively sabotage major energy, mining, and infrastructure projects.
At the heart of the issue is Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act — a little-known provision that gives the EPA power to veto dredge-and-fill permits issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, even years after projects have been approved, funded, and built. While used sparingly in the past, this authority has become a potent political weapon capable of destroying billions in investment and thousands of jobs with the stroke of a pen.
The coalition is calling on the Trump administration to act decisively and deliver the regulatory certainty American industry needs to build, produce, and lead.
America cannot allow our economy to be hamstrung by Socialist ideologues as we face an increasingly dangerous world.
We demand reform!
