Please accept these 72,283 public comments from online members and activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), regarding EPA-HQ-OW-2018-0149-0003, in opposition to gutting clean water safeguards. The Clean Water Act protects crucial waterways that feed the drinking water sources for more than 117 million Americans and this proposal will eliminate federal protections for many waterways, potentially opening them up to industrial pollution and waste. For the protection of drinking water across the country, we urge you to keep the Clean Water Rule in place and protect people not polluters. Thank you for your consideration.
