The Clean Water Act is under assault because there is an absence of monitoring and regulation by the EPA on chemicals that continue to go unregulated. These chemicals are permitted to flow into America’s waterways. Intersex fish are being documented across the nation. Certainly, these fish are an important indicator to our own health. Because of its management, the EPA is inefficient and broke. The agency is incompetent and a waste under the Bush Administration. The Bush Administration has set precedent to abuse and ignore the law. It will be interesting to see how the next administration repairs these problems.
