Congresswoman Sykes participated in a Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and the Environment entitled “America Builds: Clean Water Act Permitting and Project Delivery.”
The hearing examined how Congress can ensure that the Clean Water Act (CWA) balances the goals of protecting water quality and ensuring project completion, reducing supply chain challenges, and promoting commerce.
During the hearing, Congresswoman Sykes highlighted how the Clean Water Act was introduced and enacted due to the Cuyahoga River Fire of 1969. The pollution that caused the fire helped catalyze a movement to protect our waters and our planet, ultimately leading to the creation of Earth Day on April 22nd, 1970.
The movement also led to the creation of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and after much bipartisan collaboration, the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972.
Today, part of the Cuyahoga River runs through Ohio’s 13th Congressional District into the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
