Stopping Overreach By The Environmental Protection Agency

Many of the programs President Obama couldn’t get through Congress are quietly being implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),  Many coal fired electric plants have closed down this year because new emission standards set by the EPA. Now the EPA has declared that water can be a source of pollution.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has joined a lawsuit against the EPA by the Democratic-controlled Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to protest the EPA’s plans for Fairfax County.

The article reports:

The EPA, citing an abundance of stormwater runoff, has proposed a plan that Virginia officials say would cost them nearly half a billion dollars — and could cost homeowners and businesses their private property.

The EPA contends that water itself can be regulated as a pollutant if there’s too much of it. The agency says heavy runoff is having a negative impact on Accotink Creek and that it has the regulatory authority to remedy the situation.

 

Are they planning to fine God for excessive rainfall?
