The Court's ruling reinforces property owners' rights, protects the separation of powers by limiting your Agencies' authority...

We write to request a detailed update on the planned next steps of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)...

One solution to help drive positive public health benefits for millions of rural Americans is The Healthy H2O Act.

As I often say, rural America is essential America, and without our rural producers, America would wake up in the cold, dark, and hungry.

I am not worried about them getting it right. I am worried about us getting it right.

I do not think the Federal Government has a place in dictating how you should live your life.

I cannot support weakening clean water protections and increasing the chance of excess nutrients and pollution entering our systems.

Coal is a reliable and abundant energy resource.

U.S. mining operators, including small businesses, need regulatory clarity and certainty.

For just over half a century, the Clean Water Act has functioned to improve the quality of rivers, lakes, and streams throughout the country.

We commend the Committee for holding a hearing on May 16, which will consider an important topic related to these objectives.

Regulations should be simple to understand and easy to follow, which coincidentally, makes them so much easier to enforce.

It would be irresponsible to ignore innovation and other major changes that have occurred since Congress passed the Clean Water Act back in 1972.

The NMA's members support and conduct mining operations throughout the United States.

Regulations should carry out the intent of the law transparently, and not leave regulated communities...subject to bureaucratic uncertainty.

We are much better than that, of course, as we should be. But it doesn't mean we should be forced to accept a timeline of years to build a manufacturing plant, new infrastructure or energy project.

Supply chain challenges were with us before the pandemic, but certainly magnified and, of course, created a lot more disruption post-pandemic.

The fact of the matter is that sand that is being dredged is the sand that came from the beach and the sand that really needs to go back to the beach to preserve the ecosystem.

I represent a lot of constituents that are very frustrated about this particular issue.

If you want a wise expenditure of Federal funds, don't go sending us miles offshore.

There is zero negative environmental impact.

There has been no evidence of any detrimental impact on the ecosystem around Masonboro Inlet or the sound areas around Wrightsville Beach.

H.R. 524, the long and the short of it is, it fixes this problem in a very common-sense fashion by creating the exemption, making that permanent, which has been practiced for 50-plus years.

I appreciate the opportunity to highlight the importance of H.R. 524 to amend the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to create an exemption for certain shoreline borrow sites.

This bill would provide that certainty.
