For over a decade, Clean Water Action has advocated for stronger Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for the pollution generated by coal-fired power plants. In 2024, we won stronger regulations (called Effluent Limitation Guidelines) to limit the toxic wastewater that coal-fired power plants dump into our rivers, lakes and streams.
But now Trump’s EPA wants to delay these protections, allowing coal plants to keep dumping toxins into our waterways for an additional five years.
EPA is only collecting public comments until November 3, 2025. Submit a comment today and tell EPA that our water protections can't wait!
