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

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.
