Grace Napolitano: “I strongly support, very strongly support H.R. 3145, the Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2011.”

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Since 1973, American Rivers has protected wild rivers, restored damaged rivers, and conserved clean water for people and nature.

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.
