USCA opposed S.1816 The Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act (S.1816): USCA opposed this bill because it would have granted EPA broader oversight regulatory power over nutrient managment data in the states. USCA opposed S.787 -the Clean Water Restoration Act- this will likely result of a change in statute for producers and create a considerably greater exposure to regulatory pressure with little corresponding resource or social benefit. USCA supported S.J.Res.26 and H.J.76 - A joint resolution disapproving a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to their endangerment finding and the cause or contribute findings for greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act.
