Timothy H. Bishop: “It is without question that the Clean Water Act is responsible for a tremendous reduction in the amounts of pollutants…”

So I guess my fundamental question, Mr. Poltak, is if the EPA is willing to do it for the communities that I have cited, and I am sure there are others, why is it that there is not the capacity to do it for other communities?

We do want a rule that restricts the scope of authority under EPA, based on the Supreme Court rulings that both have said that their scope is not unlimited.

Those property values are what they are, and those builders are as successful as they are because of our efforts to protect and preserve the environment.

This information suggests that we are moving in the wrong direction in improving the quality of our Nation's water resources.
