— Congress on Wednesday approved a resolution to overturn the Biden administration's protections for the nation's waterways that Republicans have criticized as a burden on business, advancing a measure that President Biden has promised to veto.
"The overreach, basically, it's unreal," said Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat of West Virginia and critic of some of the White House's environmental policies.over the definition of"waters of the United States," which establishes the breadth of the Clean Water Act's protections.
"The perceived impact won't be as significant because the president will veto it, so they can sort of achieve their goal without causing that much damage," Gonzalez said, adding that supporting efforts to weaken the Clean Water Act are shortsighted."The Biden rule requires us to be good neighbors, and stewards of our planet, while also providing flexibility for those who need it," said Carper said.
The Supreme Court is also considering a related case brought by an Idaho couple who are fighting a requirement that they receive a permit to build their home near a lake after the EPA determined that part of their property was a regulated wetland. The justices heard arguments in Sackett v. EPA in October and a decision is expected in the next few months.
