Opposition to H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2011, which would amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to clarify Congressional intent regarding the regulation of the use of pesticides in or near navigable waters, and for other purposes. Support for the EPA to issue strong rules under the Clean Air Act regulating air pollution from cement kilns, industrial boilers, and utilities to in order to protect public health and the environment.

Opposition to H.R. 3409, the Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012, which guts bedrock protections in the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, all of which Americans have relied on for decades to protect them from uncontrolled pollution. Opposition to potential EPA approval of the state of Floridas proposed water quality standards that fail to protect its waters from toxic algae outbreaks. Opposition to Shells request to negotiate a compliance order to violate air pollution standards it already agreed to meet as part of its Arctic Ocean offshore drilling program.
