Support H.R. 1175, the FRESHER Act that closes loopholes in the Clean Water Act for hydraulic fracturing drilling operations. Support H.R. 1154, the BREATHE Act that closes loopholes in the Clean Air Act for hydraulic fracturing drilling operations. Support the EPA protecting communities from water pollution through issuing a strong stormwater rule.Support the EPA reducing air pollution by establishing strong ozone standards and finalizing vehicle tail pipe emission (Tier 3) standards. Support H.R. 2983, Safe Hydration is an American Right in Energy Development (SHARED) Act, which requires testing of water sources near planned fracking sites before fracking occurs to establish baseline conditions and determine the source of any water contamination. Oppose the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) proposal to delist the coalbed methane extraction industry and to discontinue Effluent Guidelines (ELGs) rulemaking around wastewater treatment technologies for coalbed methane extraction. Support the EPAs on-going revisions to the Onshore Oil and Gas ELGs to address pollution from the unconventional oil and gas extraction industry but urge EPA to include not just shale gas wastewater, but all oil and gas exploration, stimulation and extraction techniques which can cause surface or groundwater pollution, in these revisions. Support the EPAs Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters scientific assessment report regarding the connection between small streams and wetlands and downstream water sources. Support EPAs efforts to develop a strong rule to regulate the disposal of coal ash under RCRA that has protective standards, federal enforceability, and addresses legacy sites. Support the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers Waters of the United States proposed rule, which would clarify which waters deserve protection under the Clean Water Act, and oppose all Congressional attempts to block or undermine this rule. Oppose H.R. 524, a bill that would eliminate EPAs Clean Water Act section 404(c) authority to prohibit, restrict, or withdraw authorization for projects that would discharge dredged or fill material into streams and other waterways. Oppose an amendment offered by Representative Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) to H.R. 4923, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, which would undermine the Clean Water Act and jeopardize the waters Americans depend on for drinking, swimming, fishing, and flood protection. Support the EPA finalizing its Assessment of the Effects of Large Scale Mining on the Salmon Ecosystems of the Nushagak and Kvichak Rivers (Watershed Assessment), and issuing a Proposed Determination to Restrict the Use of an Area as a Disposal Site; Pebble Deposit Area, Southwest Alaska (Proposed Determination). Oppose H.R. 5078, the so-called Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act of 2014, which would allow the continued dumping of pollution into our small streams and wetlands by preventing the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from moving forward with their proposed Clean Water Rule.

Support H.R. 1175, the FRESHER Act that closes loopholes in the Clean Water Act for hydraulic fracturing drilling operations. Support H.R. 1154, the BREATHE Act that closes loopholes in the Clean Air Act for hydraulic fracturing drilling operations. Support the EPA protecting communities from water pollution through issuing a strong stormwater rule.Oppose H.R. 2218, the Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act of 2013, which amends RCRA to prevent regulation of coal ash, the second largest toxic waste stream in the U.S. Oppose H.R. 2226, the Federal and State Partnership for Environmental Protection Act of 2013, which amends Section 105 of CERCLA increasing litigation that will cause delays in cleanups and establish roadblocks to listing new toxic waste sites on the National Priority List (NPL), the list of the most dangerous toxic waste sites in the nation. Oppose H.R. 2279, the Reducing Excessive Deadline Obligations Act of 2013, to amend RCRA and CERCLA to remove critical federal protections for communities impacted by the use and disposal of hazardous and solid wastes by eliminating the basis for lawsuits ensuring the creation of protective standards and reduces liability for cleanups. Support the EPA reducing air pollution by establishing strong ozone standards and finalizing vehicle tail pipe emission (Tier 3) standards. Encourage OMB and OIRA to review the EPAs guidelines for identifying waters protected by the Clean Water Act. Oppose H.R. 2728, Protecting States Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act, which would undercut federal management of oil and gas drilling on federal lands in favor of an inadequate patchwork of state regulations. Support H.R. 2983, Safe Hydration is an American Right in Energy Development (SHARED) Act, which requires testing of water sources near planned fracking sites before fracking occurs to establish baseline conditions and determine the source of any water contamination. Oppose the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) proposal to delist the coalbed methane extraction industry and to discontinue Effluent Guidelines (ELGs) rulemaking around wastewater treatment technologies for coalbed methane extraction. Support the EPAs on-going revisions to the Onshore Oil and Gas ELGs to address pollution from the unconventional oil and gas extraction industry but urge EPA to include not just shale gas wastewater, but all oil and gas exploration, stimulation and extraction techniques which can cause surface or groundwater pollution, in these revisions.
