Get to Know the Clean Water Act

Join Rogue Riverkeeper for a primer on the Clean Water Act and learn how you can help implement this keystone environmental law in the Rogue Basin. This is a free event that will outline the framework of the Clean Water Act and explain how community members can activate to ensure swimmable, drinkable and fishable public waters. There will be a brief overview KS Wild's Rogue Riverkeeper program, including monitoring of the Clean Water Act, mining oversight and the Liquefied Natural Gas proposal in southwest Oregon.

“The Clean Water Act, in and of itself, doesn’t ensure clean water any more than the Civil Rights Act guarantees full civil rights. Both depend on federal and state governments committed to them. Even more importantly, both depend on an informed, involved, committed and courageous citizenry. When people don’t speak up and organize for clean water, it cannot be guaranteed – even by the most progressive state and federal agencies working under the most enlightened administrations.” - U.S. President Jimmy Carter
