Federal Water Rule Does Not Account for Pollution Across State Boundaries
AUSTIN, Texas – In a research analysis to be published Friday in Science, scholars contend that a new federal water rule enacted in 2020 does not adequately account for transboundary pollution across state lines.
One of the government’s rationales for enacting the new rule, which removed millions of acres of wetlands and millions of miles of streams from federal protection, was an assumption that states would fill gaps in federal oversight. The research analysis, co-authored by Sheila Olmstead of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin, suggests this may not occur. ....

New Report Says EPA Used Dubious Methodology to Justify Weakening the Clean Water Act


New Report Says EPA Used Dubious Methodology to Justify Weakening the Clean Water Act
Report co-authored by UMass Amherst economist David Keiser says EPA analysis assumes states will step in to protect waterways as wetlands and streams lose federal protection

AMHERST, Mass. – The Trump administration’s decision to remove federal Clean Water Act protections from millions of acres of wetlands and millions of miles of streams is based on dubious methodology and flawed logic, according to a new report by environmental economists from leading research institutions across the U.S, including the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers repealed the Obama-era Clean Water Rule, which clarified which bodies of water fell under federal protection from pollution under the 1972 Clean Water Act. Earlier this year, the agenci ....

City Council this week is set to consider changes to how Houston oversees the storage and use of hazardous materials, the first step of a broader effort to tighten restrictions after the January explosion of the Watson Grinding & Manufacturing plant that killed three people and damaged hundreds of Spring Branch-area homes.
The first batch of changes are on the council’s Wednesday agenda. If approved, they would make adjustments to the city’s “hazardous enterprise” ordinance, called Chapter 28, which dictates the permitting process for nearly 200 Houston businesses and lays out inspection requirements and other rules. ....
