Low head dams have earned the nickname “drowning machines” because they create a recirculating washing machine-like feature at the base of the dam that can trap even the most experienced paddlers.

The EPA has plans to weaken the Clean Water Act by significantly reducing the authority of states and Tribal Nations alike to protect waters threatened by pipelines and other big projects. This would mean forcing communities to accept pollution risks in favor of Big Polluters. Submit your comment now and fight against Big Polluters: on.nrdc.org/4rz2RAi

@EPA plans to weaken Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, reducing states' and tribes' ability to stop water pollution.
This change threatens drinking water, wetlands, and fish habitats, and limits public participation. Don’t let the EPA put polluters’ profits ahead of clean water.
