I'm batting my eyelashes at you, NEORSD

All well & good BUT with 65% cuts to EPA staff plus those in the health research area, who is going to be left standing to make more precise guidelines?
Your article smacks of gaslighting.

the article explains our position on the case and our advocacy for clear and specific permit requirements so utilities can better plan and perform.

kanadianraven.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yes it does & its disingenuous. Have you not been paying attn to the current political chaos? Who exactly do you think is going to be left standing in the EPA to clarify those rules? Under a govt hostile to all that the EPA represents?

Clean water is for liberal pu55ies!

Belly up to the Repub KoolAid Bar

Okay. I'm going to calm down and trust you on this.

My, what a big ... drill you have. 😂 Srsly, though, thank you for weighing in on the right side of things. Vague guidelines are what allows corporate America to get away with all kinds of nasty stuff, so firming them up & articulating clearly is exactly what we need.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE CORRUPT COURT. EJECT ALL OF THE RIGHT WINGERS!!!!!

How? Are you just here to sh*post?

Oh, that’s good then! My dad grew up in Lorain when it was risky to even go into the water in Lake Erie (way before the Cuyahoga River caught fire) — we don’t want a return to those days!!!

So do Republicans want our water to have poop in it or not?

neorsd.org•68 days ago

utilities want the EPA to follow the Clean Water Act and issue clear-cut water discharge permits that prevent water pollution before it occurs. that's what the ruling favored. i as one utility can say i do not want poop in our water.

Thank you for defusing the ragebait with an injection of reason.

Oh my God, I feel so much better now. Off to sing a Sea Shanty and oh yes, you know the one....

I can understand a wastewater utility's interest in clarity.

Thanks for the article! If I understand correctly, you're saying that the decision means that guidelines will be rewritten to be more specific, and utilities will now have something concrete to shoot for?

neorsd.org•68 days ago

it means permit guidelines must be clear and specific so utilities can know when they are in compliance or out of it. it is helpful for us as the ones doing the clean water work with our ratepayers dollars.

when i need to fix something that’s broken but still working for the moment, i don’t gut what’s there first and only sometime afterward fiddle around with what will replace it. i first come up with a concrete plan to make it better than before, _then_ begin making sweeping changes.

profirebug.bsky.social•68 days ago

Thank you for clearing that up.
