Energy Projects Approved by Trump at Risk
The article discusses concerns about the EPA's veto authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act, which allows the agency to block or limit disposal of dredged or fill material even after permits are issued. This broad authority could jeopardize energy and infrastructure projects, with the potential for retroactive vetoes that undermine permit reliability. Efforts are underway in Congress and the Trump administration to restrict or clarify this authority, including proposing legislative changes and executive orders to limit EPA veto power.
