Grace Napolitano: “Our water, our local natural resources, are far too precious to take action on this proposal without fully understanding…”

I believe the question of who should ultimately be responsible for protecting rivers, streams, and wetlands has become hyper-politicized.

I claim the time in opposition, even though I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentlewoman from California is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

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.
