federal agencies like the environmental protection agency are really supposed to be, um, managing these insecticides in a way that causes minimal harm to humans and other animals. >> starting in the 1990s, agency scientists were raising red flags about the mobility, the persistence, the toxicity of these neonic products, including the effects on pollinators and other wildlife. >> epa documents show agency scientists knew imidacloprid is highly toxic to songbirds, aquatic invertebrates, and honeybees as early as 1993. yet epa allowed imidacloprid on the u.s. market a year later. after decades of exposure, the conquences epscientists once warned about are now confirmed by the task force on systemic pesticides. >> and unfortunately, these chemicals are often, and i would say most of thtime, released before there is adequate information to show whether they e harmful the environment. i think neonicotinoids are a prime example of that. >> epa assesses risk posed by pesticides prior to their release on the market. safety studies are typically conducted and paid for by pesticide manufacturers

this is a clean environmental agency. it's awesome. this building, of course, is so incredibly sustainable. it's a model for what we need. we also know that environment sustainability, yes, it's about energy and water and all that. but it's also about the sustainability of the community. and this is a community -- the bayview hunters point is a community that's been under intense prescriber for so many years. it's not always been prioritized by our city government. at a time it was cut off and felt neglected. it's important that we be intentional about investing in this community, about supporting he made sure this building happened. he had a vision. and along with the community, you all helped him make it happen. he made sure the community was involved every step of the way. when i look back at this building, i see this is what a utility of the future is posed to be. our policies -- supposed to be. our policies go beyond do no harm. our policies are do good and build. that's why licky store is here. this is what a utility of the futur

>> this is a case involving the scope of the environmental protection agency's authority under the clean water act to regulate not just typical waters like streams, lakes, and rivers but wetlands that connect to bodies of navigable water. the epa has long asserted its authority to regulate wetlands where the wetlands have some impact on the quality of water and other parts of the united states and these challengers argue with the epa's authority over wetlands is actually very narrow. and the wetlands have to be physically connected to another body of water in order to be regulated under the clean water act and the epa says that narrow understanding of its authority would curtail its ability to protect and maintain clean waters rout the united states. a big environmental case and a big administrative law case. the term is off to a running start. anchor: at the end of the last term, the court was taking away some of the powers belonging to federal agencies. it will be interesting to see if they move in the same direction. i want to talk about justice brown jackson. she make a mark? >> --do
