Sacramento, California - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, as part of a coalition of 16 states and four state environmental agencies, Friday filed a comment letter warning the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that any attempt to roll back state oversight of federal projects under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) would be unlawful.
