California is debating the general permit, which allows the maximum amount of pollutant. The article discusses the facts we should know when taking into consideration this weighty debate. Retrieved November 18, from
Many California residents are very environmentally conscious and wish to preserve their environment. This proposed bill potentially could have no effect on the environment,however, it does not help improve our water quality. Limiting amount of restrictions on water sanitization policies as well as how much pollant should be allowed in our water can come under fires especially in this political climate.
This article relates this environmental science because, water is a huge part of the environment. Humans need water to survive and it probably our most valued resource. With government officials imposing bills and permits in attempts to pollute our water for their short term profit, could potentially jeopardize the health of the ecosystem. Therefore, environmentalist urge us to take these bills and permits into greater consideration of the effect that they cause on the world around us, especially if we wish to maintain clean water.
Are they lowering the maximum amount of pollutant? I’m not sure how water would change with less or more. It’s interesting how it seems that this bill doesn’t really make quite a difference environmentally.
