At Warren SWCD we care about water, clean water to be specific. Why do we care? Look below...
The EPA established the Clean Water Rule to accomplish all the the goals shown above. The Clean Water Rule protects streams and wetlands that are scientifically shown to have the greatest impact on downstream water quality and form the foundation of our nation’s water resources. Read a summary the Clean Water Rule HERE. It's important to recognize that the rule protects clean water without getting in the way of farming, ranching and forestry. But how does the Clean Water Rule protect our waters? The Clean Water Rule protects our waters by clearly defining regulations and permitting for any effort that might disrupt, modify, pollute or destroy the Waters of the State. Learn more about these permits on the EPA Website.
