EPA Funding Grants To Clean UP Drinking Water In Red States About To Get Axed By Trump

[Dr. Phosphorous]

How can an agency hundreds of miles away from my town clean up and mange my towns water supply?... what did people do before the EPA's existence?... this is why cuts must be made at the EPA... local water control = better water control...

Yeah...how do they do it? Golly...how do we send people into outer space??

Simpleton.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

I didn't realize that the feds were coming in on a daily basis to clean our drinking water .. I always believed it was the responsibility of local gov .. silly me ..

Too bad worthless MAGA dumb fucks don't believe in paying taxes for this sort of thing.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Fine....get the big "W" from Trump destroying the EPA.

Get the big "L" when you and your family die younger.

Democrats believe the world is overpopulated.

Anyone who thinks they want to save lives instead of cause die offs is retarded.

An American voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for Gavin Newsome.

No, you're retarded....for believing that destroying the EPA is not going to hurt millions of Trump supporters in poor rural communities throughout this country.

It will hurt the red states more than the blue states. Democrats believe in protecting the environment and will pass state laws to help protect the health of their citizens. The red states will not.

The EPA is meant to attack Americans as part of the democrats plan to intentionally collapse America.

Drinking water is safe in every state dumbass, if not, it is their responsibility to make it safe.
The EPA is not destroyed, duh. The EPA just ignored Republican areas when disasters hit, like in East Palestine OH.

Primacy Enforcement Responsibility for Public Water Systems | US EPA

This page contains the EPA's revisions and policies on primacy.

www.epa.gov

Requirements for state primacy (from 40CFR142, Subpart B)​

The state must:​

• Have regulations for contaminants regulated under the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) that are no less stringent than the regulations promulgated by EPA. States have up to two years to develop regulations after EPA releases new regulations
• Have adopted and be implementing procedures for the enforcement of state regulations
• Maintain an inventory of public water systems in the state
• Have a program to conduct sanitary surveys of the systems in the state
• Have a program to certify laboratories that will analyze water samples required by the regulations
• Have a laboratory that will serve as the state's "principal" lab that is certified by EPA
• Have a program to ensure that new or modified systems will be capable of complying with state primary drinking water regulations
• Have adequate enforcement authority to compel water systems to comply with NPDWRs, including:
  • authority to sue in court
  • right to enter and inspect water system facilities
  • authority to require systems to keep records and release them to the state
  • authority to require systems to notify the public of any system violation of the state requirements
  • authority to assess civil or criminal penalties for violations of the State Primary Drinking Water Regulations and public notification requirements
• Have adequate recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

Spoken like a true imbecile disciple of the MAGA QAnon religion.

Enjoy your shorter lifespan, Kleetus.

 

[JLW]

The EPA is a bullshit agency that needs to be disbanded.

No reason local and state governments can’t test their own water supplies.

You moron, not if the cause of the pollution is out of state.

And what your imbecile MAGA gomer ass doesn't realize is that red states like Texas don't give a flying fuck about clean air and clean water.

And that's why you are going to die younger.

You idiot the EPA was started by Nixon.

The attack on the EPA is by those that don’t care if their fellow citizens are poisoned so long as a corporation can make a profit.

Those funds were never going to clean up our water or air. They were just being sent to NGOs for laundering, later to be disbursed to people who have nothing to do with the environment, like Stacey Abrams or her dentist.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...MAGA lightweight.

That comes from Book 3, Chapter 14 of the MAGA QAnon bible.

 

[Blisterfinger]

All those poor Trump supporters out there....when they voted for Trump, they didn't realize that they were voting to shorten their own lifespans and their family's lifespans.

Yes, MAGA voters are "owning the libs".....and owning themselves also.

The EPA ensures that we have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe....you know, important government stuff.

None of this shit matters in deranged MAGA world. None of this matters in the anti-government MAGA QAnon religion.

For example, Trump plans on screwing people in ruby red Idaho. If a Democrat was still president, the good people of Idaho would still be getting this funding to address contaminated water. --

Grant recipients across the country are holding their breath as the Environmental Protection Agency reviews scores of “environmental justice” grants, calling into question the future of projects meant to provide clean drinking water and disaster shelters to underserved communities — some of which are in Republican districts.

Contaminated water has been a constant concern in Pocatello, Idaho, where nitrate levels in local wells prompted the small city to seek federal grants to build sewer systems in areas without them.

Pocatello, the seat of Bannock County, where two-thirds of voters cast a ballot for Trump in 2024, scored a major win in July when the EPA awarded the city $16.5 million to undertake a sewer project that would greatly improve water quality — not only in Pocatello, but throughout the surrounding valley.

The project is underway, Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad said in an email, but the grant money is not flowing — as the EPA reviews and cuts grants awarded under environmental justice programs.

“The reimbursement system for the grant program is currently not active, which means the City is unable to process any reimbursement payments for the work we are completing,” Blad said. Although the pause won’t cause immediate delays, “we do not have the resources to cover the expenses indefinitely.”

You haven't even begun to see the "owning the libs" that is about to happen. You can start groveling now.

I see what you're saying. You're saying that Trump is not biased and he likes blue states more than red states.

It's the herd immunity they always talk about.
