Will Be Critical to Improving the Health of the Chesapeake Bay

Today Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen issued the following statement on the Clean Water Rule announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army to clarify Clean Water Act protections:

“Clean water is critical to the health of every single American. In Maryland, protecting the Chesapeake Bay is central to the success of our families, our farms, and our economy. We’ve made much progress, but our work is not done. Today’s rule is integral to strengthening the important work done in the Clean Water Act and ensuring that its legacy continues for future generations.”
