"The final Clean Water Rule announced by the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers is a victory for every American. We all rely on clean water.

The Clean Water Act has been hugely successful since first-enacted in 1972, but this rule represents an important, necessary update to clarify the law, to the benefit of our environment and public health.
