The Biden administration issued new environmental regulations this week, giving greater authority to states and tribes to reject permits for key infrastructure projects.
"The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to supporting economically secure, healthy, and sustainable communities," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said Thursday in a statement. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"To achieve this goal, we must protect our water resources while also making investments that move our nation forward," he continued. "With EPA’s final Clean Water Act Section 401 rule, we are affirming the authority of states, territories, and Tribes to protect precious water resources while advancing federally permitted projects in a transparent, timely, and predictable way."
