Fighting For Clean Water Friends Of The Everglades Alert House Bill 1197 (Maggard) and its Senate counterpart, Senate Bill 1240 (Burgess) would strip municipal and county governments of their authority to regulate water quality, water quantity, pollution control, pollution discharge prevention or removal, and wetlands, including delineation of wetlands. The laxity of state law and lack of enforcement is why cities and counties feel compelled to adopt tougher local rules in the first place. If the state was doing a bang-up job protecting water quality and fighting pollution, we wouldn’t need local clean-water regulation. Get details and take action online. |
