pollutants and waste from farms were destroying the life La Mirada and Meridiana Through May 2025
in rivers and streams and even flood preventing wetlands. District 4 Bob Greenstein (Lakes of La Paz) Robert Cornell (Costa Brava) Dan Gabrielle (La Corniche)
Hundreds of thousands of acres were destroyed yearly. The El Viento, La Paz, and Southwinds David Sussman (Valencia) Lawrence Gelfond (La Corniche)
rivers in every state were being seriously compromised until Howard Weinstein (El Dorado) Zachary Elliott (Encantada)
a bipartisan effort was generated to attack this crisis head
on in the Clean Water Act. This law made it illegal to dump
pollutants from any designated source into our nation’s waters
without a federal permit that limited what could be dumped.
Local governments were required to create cleanup plans to
reduce pollution in order to bring bodies of water back to
health. This has precipitated many benefits for human and
wildlife populations.
This single law keeps approximately 700+ billion pounds
of pollutants out of our water. This precious act has been
under attack in recent years through apathy and negligence
on the part of citizens and governmental bodies as well.
We the people need to take action through awareness and
having a voice that matters to restore the attention, focus and
enforcement of clean water measures in order to restore our
states’ and nation’s priority on clean fresh water. Clean water
is a fundamental condition for survival as a species and for
the well being of the planet. Can you please take action to
have a voice in the public forum to protect our bodies and
supplies of fresh water?? Thank you for listening!!
