Grace Napolitano: “I believe that Federal agencies should always strive to respect the desires of the local communities in which they work…”

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

Each day that passes absent clarity by the Federal government on Sackett compliance is one more day that business and the environment are at risk.

I believe the Supreme Court purposefully chose to substitute its own philosophy over decades-old, legally grounded efforts to protect water quality.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
