Kentucky-based environmental groups are concerned about the effect of Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling on the 1972 Clean Water Act. In a unanimous decision, the high court took the side of an Idaho couple and limited the scope of the EPA’s ability to control wetland pollution. Michael Washburn is the executive director of the Kentucky Waterways Alliance.
“This is a ruling that threatens the integrity of the Clean Water Act, it seems to flatly go against all the ecological and scientific underpinnings up underpinnings of the Clean Water Act.”
