Summer is here and many of us are heading out to spend time on the water.
We should be glad the Environmental Protection Agency has recently proposed a long-overdue rule that will safeguard water quality across the country.
This "new" proposal is really an old one: it simply clarifies which bodies of water are protected under the Clean Water Act.
The proposal will restore federal protections to two million miles of streams - waters that provide drinking water to 117 million Americans and vital habitat for wildlife.
