Join LWV UMRR (Upper Mississippi River Region Inter-League Organization) and Rob Lee, attorney for Midwest Environmental Advocates, to discuss the implications of the May 2023 Supreme Court decision that restricted implementation of the Clean Water Act. This decision removed 'discontinuous' wetlands and ephemeral streams from Clean Water Act jurisdiction and will have far-reaching consequences in states that depended on federal regulations for this protection. Which states will be most impacted in our region? What will it mean for the Upper Mississippi River? What the heck can we do about it, anyhow?
Background information can be found at the UMRR website. The group's October newsletter is also available.
