Summary by Ground News
In 2020, industrial facilities released more than 11 million pounds of harmful substances into state waters. Texas topped the list, allowing nearly 17 million pounds to be released. The report comes just a few days before the Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments on a major Clean Water Act case that could significantly limit what waterways fall under federal protection.
