Grace Napolitano: “One million dollars invested in water jobs--water projects creates 12 to 16 jobs in our area.”

The stone, sand and gravel industry urgently needs clarity and certainty regarding Clean Water Act (CWA) permitting.

In my view, we get lost on questions of who is best suited to protect our water resources, rather than talking about the importance of rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands for current and future needs.

I believe this bill will restore the minimum levels of protections struck down by the conservative Supreme Court.

I remain committed to protecting clean water for more people, not less.
