As Chair of the Waters Advocacy Coalition (WAC) I write to express strong support for H.R. 3898, the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act, on behalf of our member associations. This legislation is essential to providing clarity and certainty within the Clean Water Act (CWA) permitting process for landowners and other regulated entities across the country. WAC represents a cross-section of the nation’s construction, transportation, real estate, mining, manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, energy, wildlife conservation, and public health and safety sectors―all of which are vital to a thriving national economy and provide much-needed jobs in local communities. The CWA has long served as a cornerstone of environmental protection; however, the permitting process has become increasingly complex, inconsistent, and prone to lengthy delays. This regulatory uncertainty not only hinders critical infrastructure and environmental restoration projects but also creates uncertainty for both regulators and regulated entities. Reforming CWA permitting processes is essential to ensure timely and transparent decisions that both protect water resources and support responsible economic development.
