Senate Committee Passes Clean Water Protections
The Senate Environment and Public has taken the first steps to restoring Clean Water Act protections to millions of acres of wetlands and thousands of miles of streams by passing the Baucus-Klobuchar Compromise for Clean Water.
Passing this bill is the first step to restoring protections for wetlands and streams that were lost in the wake of the SWANCC and Rapanos Supreme Court cases. The bill now goes to the Senate floor.
DU members and supporters are still critical to moving this bill forward - Contact your Members of Congress now and urge them to support the Baucus-Klobuchar Compromise for Clean Water!

Millions of acres of waterfowl habitat at risk
Millions of acres of wetlands are in danger of being polluted or drained because they are considered "geographically isolated"—even though these areas are critical for America's drinking water and waterfowl habitat.
Ducks Unlimited is supporting efforts to protect these wetlands for people and waterfowl, ensuring that these habitats aren't lost to us permanently.
Ducks Unlimited needs your help to secure these wetlands now and forever, and protect them from pollutants and destruction.

When Clean Water Act protections were removed from "isolated" wetlands in 2001, critical waterfowl habitat, especially breeding ground in the Prairie Pothole Region, were threatened. Ducks Unlimited's conservation staff explains why no wetland is truly isolated from the surrounding ecosystems and why our support is essential to restore protections for waterfowl habitat. |
