Grace Napolitano: “We urge Congress to provide the funds necessary to maintain and upgrade crucial infrastructure projects.”

Clean water was not always a partisan issue, and no issue has more support among American families than the protection of our nation's waters.

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

We should recognize the familiarity and workability of the historic Clean Water Act and get on with the preservation of the health of our economy as well as that of our communities.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
