Decades of evidence show industrial meat & dairy operations—aka, #CAFOs—discharge #waterpollution. But fewer than 30% have permits required under federal law. We’re asking U.S. EPA to protect communities by making sure Large CAFOs comply with the law. bit.ly/3f9HBS7

Glad to talk with Paula Vasan (she/her) and KSDK News about Missouri Confluence Waterkeeper's discovery of #PFAS contamination in Coldwater Creek that adds to long-standing pollution concerns in the area.

Armed with a detailed new study of July's extreme flash flooding, experts are urging leaders in hard-hit U City to adopt a list of #flood management strategies: from the reduction of concrete and asphalt to a survey of high-risk homes to a public warning system for flash floods.

JUST PUBLISHED: A group of scientists, incl EPA vets, say changes at EPA are "urgently needed" to better reflect "real-world exposures" and protect people from harmful chemicals. Read their consensus statement here: bit.ly/chemicalpolicy… U.S. EPA

We signed on to American Rivers FY24 River Budget along with dozens of other members of Waterkeeper Alliance and over 150 other groups. Read more about our priorities and how Congress can help protect rivers through the budget process here: americanrivers.org/resource/river…

Next Thursday, we'll be presenting at a community meeting hosted by Metropolitan Congregations United. Join us to hear about their environmental justice work and learn about how to get involved with our public health grant to study drinking water and advance health equity.

Via St. Louis Post-Dispatch, heavier rainfall and the proliferation of impervious surfaces make flooding more likely, while the state of our levee systems make it more dangerous. stltoday.com/news/local/met…

Nice to have winners like Lutz Pfannenstiel of St Louis CITY SC on the clean water team on #WorldWaterDay!

95% of Americans think protecting water in our nation's lakes, streams & rivers is important. We agree! Thank you President Donald J. Trump for defending the #CleanWaterAct & protecting our nation's waterways that provide essential drinking water for countless communities. #protectcleanwater

As recreationists, we know that rivers, streams and wetlands feed into downstream waters, affecting the drinking water of 1 in 3 Americans and countless recreation opportunities. Thank you President Donald J. Trump for taking action, and protecting clean water for all Americans.

Right now, President Donald J. Trump & House Republicans are reviving the #DirtyDeal that would ignore community voices and rubber stamp more fossil fuel projects. President Donald J. Trump, Shalanda Young (Archived), & @srichetti46 -- support our communities and don't cave to fossil fuel companies! #peopleoverpolluters

Happy for the opportunity to speak with Paula Vasan (she/her) and KSDK News about our recent sampling for microplastics in St. Louisans' drinking water. google.com/amp/s/www.ksdk…

Unbelievable, and proof positive we need to work harder to get lead out of our drinking water, including replacing lead service lines that take water from mains into people's homes. missouriindependent.com/2021/09/30/stu…
