"We believe strongly that we don't have to choose between the two. So in some cases we've pursued some of the largest acts of deregulation in the history of the country, and with other decisions that we made, we've increased regulations."
"When you're just talking about people who care about the quality of their drinking water, I think it's important to note the Trump administration has allowed, basically loosened regulation on the way wastewater is allowed to be disposed of near critical waterways."
"There are a lot of different examples across chemicals and much more, whether it's laws on the books, regulations that followed, this is regulated with maximum contaminate levels, and the thousands of water systems then have to come into compliance."
Liz Claman questioned EPA chief Lee Zeldin about the Trump administration's deregulation of environmental protections, particularly regarding clean drinking water and air. Zeldin acknowledged the agency's efforts to balance regulation and deregulation, stating that some regulations have been tightened while others have been loosened. Claman raised concerns about the impact of relaxed wastewater disposal regulations on drinking water quality. Zeldin referenced the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act as frameworks for regulating contaminants in water systems.
