Good news for sanity. Would be even better if they just shuttered the EPA, but that's not going to happen right now...

    And this is part and parcel of the massive Federal Land Grab currently going on. The States (like Utah is starting to do) should just tell the Federal Government they don't have the right to own land (the Bundy's have that part right - it's right there in the Constitution) and rescind all Federal ownership of lands. Then the States should sell them back to private parties.

    This sounds more reasonable. I prefer local knowledge of the watershed for management.

    "The President’s action today preserves a federal role in protecting water, but it also restores the states’ important role in the regulation of water.”

    A new , planned Nickle and Copper mine is set to break ground this year after 10 years of permits ,environmental permits land swaps with the fed( basically forcing the co. to buy adjacent land to a national park and give it to the park) in the iron range of Minnesota. One decade , $30,000,000.00 later and that doesn't pay for one scoop of dirt. The co. Will provide hundreds of well paid jobs and the local industry to support those folks plus we get the metals in to the economy.

    Recind or revise could be less than the good news it appears at first glance.
    Agree that the EPA should be closed down asap. Let the states deal with it.
