Posts - Bill - S 2421 CLEAR Waters Act
senate 07/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to clarify which waters fall under federal pollution regulations by excluding certain waste treatment systems, temporary streams that only flow after rain, and groundwater from the definition of navigable waters. This aims to provide clearer guidelines for water protection and management.

Maybe less red tape, but clearer definitions shouldn’t mean dirtier rivers.

Cleaning up legal jargon is good, but don’t let ‘clarity’ become code for cuts.

Waste treatment ponds aren’t lakes; glad someone’s bringing reason back to water law.

Cutting out protections for tiny streams? Great, let’s flush our clean water rights down the drain.

Finally, some common sense cutting through the federal flood of regulations.

Excluding waste ponds from oversight? That’s not clarity, that’s a green light for pollution.

When 'clear' means 'clearly worse' for water safety, you know who’s writing the bill.

Not every ditch needs a federal audit—time to clear the backlog and trust local judgement.

Fine line between smart exemptions and watering down protections—hope they got it right this time.
