thompson: mr. speaker, today marks the closing of the comment period on the rule for the waters of the united states, under the clean water act, that has been proposed by the federal environmental protection agency and the u.s. army corps of engineers. since comment period opened, which was april 24 of this year, landowners, states, counties and groups representing a diverse range of both economic and environmental stakeholders from across the country have filed more than a quarter million comments on a rule that threatens both our comment comme and the ability of states to effectively manage water quality. through a strong state-federal regulatory partnership that provides adequate flexibility to address water quality while accounting for local and regional variations of conditions, pennsylvania's demonstrated a successful track record of improving and protecting the ecological health of its waters. unfortunately this new federal policy poses a direct threat to the long standing federalist approach empowered within the clean water act. today members of the pennsylvania congressional delegation will
