Clean Water Rule Revived in PA, Protecting Our Headwater Streams and Wetlands

A federal court ruling in South Carolina vacated the Trump Administration’s attempt to delay the 2015 Clean Water Rule, reinstating the rule in Pennsylvania and 25 other states. The Clean Water Rule protects headwater streams and wetlands, safeguarding thousands of miles of waterways and the drinking water of millions of Pennsylvanians. This victory upholds science-based protections and reaffirms the importance of strong federal environmental laws.
