We ask how changes to the legal definition of #WOTUS under the Clean Water Rule & Navigable Waters Protection Rule alter which wetlands are protected as a function of landscape position and size, taking New York as our case study (largest geographic analysis to date)
Methods for landscape analysis follow closely after existing studies, largely this one from @RileyKWalsh

While the country has been busy dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration has moved full speed ahead on rolling back public health protections. Here's a thread 🧵of recent attacks on science by the administration during #COVID19.
The administration moved forward with removing protections from the #CleanWaterAct. The change will remove protections from half of the nation’s wetlands and nearly 20% of streams. act.ucsusa.org/2W0jIPa
In the middle of the #coronavirus pandemic, the EPA has moved to restrict the types of research that can be used in policymaking. The proposal would rule out important scientific papers from being considered. act.ucsusa.org/3a3Lnon

@RepBrianFitz has remained SILENT as Trump begins to roll back the Obama era #CleanWaterAct
This is especially troublesome as our district #PA01 has a tremendous #PFAS contamination problem.
Our kids deserve clean water

Trump Admin listed four reasons why WOTUS is correctly being repealed. The primary reason is the blatant disregard for the very law it is supposed to uphold and enforce. U.S. Law. 33 U.S. Code § 1251 section 101(b)
Clean Waters Act
33 U.S. Code § 1251 section 101(b)
(b)Congressional recognition, preservation, and protection of primary responsibilities and rights of States.

This Republican control over all parts of our government defies comparison. On second thought, it feels like a Biblical punishment..Remember the 10 Plagues of Egypt?

The Clean Water Rule protected smaller bodies of water, like streams and wetlands, from discharges of all kinds of pollutants. But not anymore: #RepublicanPlague #CleanWaterAct

The EPA has delayed implementation for 2 years as the agency “clarifies” (read: eliminates)the rule.The decision is a clear gift to industrial polluters who loudly protested the reg in 2015 & GOP lawmakers who have falsely claimed the rule regulates “puddles on private property.”
