[quote=Anonymous]“The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works will hold a hearing Wednesday on slashing the Clean Water Act’s authority to stop groundwater pollution.

Under the Clean Water Act, it is illegal to discharge pollution into any “waters of the United States” without first seeking a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency. But in the wake of a recent court ruling upholding the EPA’s authority to regulate groundwater pollution, Senate Republicans have signaled a desire to dramatically curtail or even eliminate that authority.

The committee’s actions were spurred by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals recent decision on Maui’s practice of injecting up to 5 million gallons of sewage water into the ground each day. The court ruled that because the injected wastewater flowed underground into the Pacific Ocean, the injection required compliance with the Clean Water Act.”
