ASBN Policy Forum: Understanding Waters of the U.S and the Clean Water Act
About the event
ISSP and the American Sustainable Business Network announced a new partnership in May 2025 to expand the reach of mission-aligned programming, share critical knowledge and resources, and amplify our collective impact. Join ASBN on May 28 at 1:00 PM ET for ASBN’s Policy Forum. Right now, the EPA is considering further rollbacks to the definition of “Waters of the United States”—a move that could strip federal protections from the streams and wetlands that sustain our communities and businesses.
Join Liza LaManna, Manager of Agriculture Policy, and a guest expert from Clean Water For All for an ASBN/ISSP members‑only one‑hour webinar to walk through:
-
The rulemaking process: How these revisions are drafted, reviewed, and finalized.
-
Expected changes: What the new WOTUS definition may include—or exclude—and the likely timeline.
-
Business opportunities: Ways for companies to submit comments, join coalition efforts, and influence practical guidance.
The stakes are high: weaker protections mean more pollution, rising water treatment costs, and greater risks from flooding and drought. That translates to higher operating expenses, disrupted supply chains, and mounting challenges for public health and local economies.
The EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, and the Small Business Office of Advocacy have asked to hear from businesses like yours. Learn how to make your voice heard and stand up for clean water and economic resilience.Please note that once you complete this registration you will be directed to register through ASBN as well.
