Public health advocates worry that Donald Trump could unravel federal clean water efforts, including restrictions on lead pipes and chemicals known as PFAS.
No. He will gut the EPA if he doesn’t kill it completely. It will be down to individual states to attempt to regulate that stuff, and even then, states already get a ton of their funding from the federal EPA, so they’re all fucked when that money dries up.
So no more lead service line replacements. No more PFAS removal, no more water quality standards, no more air quality standards… How long before the Potomac is on fire again…
