Grace Napolitano: “We support the intent of this legislation to recover listed species, while allowing for water and power operations…”

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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I believe the Supreme Court purposefully chose to substitute its own philosophy over decades-old, legally grounded efforts to protect water quality.

In my view, we get lost on questions of who is best suited to protect our water resources, rather than talking about the importance of rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands for current and future needs.
