Arizona seeks to create surface water protections after Clean Water Act rollback

Ariana Brocious/AZPM Since June 2020, a large proportion of Arizona s rivers, lakes and streams have not been protected by the Clean Water Act. That s due to a change to the federal rule the Trump administration made in 2019. The state relied on the landmark law to keep its arid streams free of pollution. But after the federal protections were limited, Arizona decided to come up with its own set of surface water quality standards. For the last two years, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has been working to craft the new rules with public input. The result of that work is House Bill 2691, currently moving through the state Legislature. Trevor Baggiore, director of the agency’s water quality division, says the bill helps fill the regulatory gap.

Arizona agency: Luke AFB needs longer term water solution

By ANITA SNOW | Associated Press | Published: March 3, 2021 PHOENIX The head of Arizona s environmental agency called on Luke Air Force Base in metro Phoenix to help stop the spread of a plume of chemicals contaminating the area s drinking water after recent testing discovered high levels of compounds commonly found in a firefighting foam once used there. Misael Cabrera, director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, told a public meeting his agency could work with the U.S. Air Force to stop the underground movement of the chemicals he said are linked to cancer and other health problems. Cabrera praised the base for distributing bottled drinking water in recent days to thousands of residents affected by the contamination. But he said a longer term solution is needed to stop the problem, just as a hospital can save a patient by stopping the bleeding as fast as you can.
