The EPA washes out in Virginia

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, R, won a significant victory against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Jan. 3. A federal district court in Virginia ruled in favor of the state in a dispute over stormwater runoff in the case Virginia Deptartment of Transportation v. EPA. As Cuccinelli said, the “EPA was literally treating water itself — the very substance the Clean Water Act was created to protect — as a pollutant.”
In a prime example of the unlawful and economically destructive positions taken by the EPA under outgoing administrator Lisa Jackson, the agency claimed that it could regulate the stormwater running into Accotink Creek, a 25-mile-long tributary of the Potomac River. Although the EPA was forced to admit that stormwater is not a pollutant, it still claimed the authority to regulate it, claiming it was a “surrogate” for sediment, which is a regulated pollutant.

How is sediment, which is transported or moved from place to place as part of a 100% NATURAL PROCESS, considered a pollutant? In the same way carbon di-oxide has suddenly become a “pollutant”? The EPA is retarded to think that anyone with a brain will accept their double-speak non-reality based claims. It is time for the EPA as well as the FDA to go into the history books, they are both, extremely obviously, working absolutely against the best interests of the American People.
Sediment enriches soil by bringing minerals and nutrients with it to its new location, it is a natural and effective fertilizer. Is that why it is now a pollutant, because the UN and the globalists do not desire for us to be able to porduce our own food?
