Grace Napolitano: “Water is now gold for business, for agriculture and especially for the communities that bank on us.”

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.

To me, the answer is clear. We should recognize the familiarity and workability of the historic Clean Water Act.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
