JamesAssistant Secretary of the Army, Civil WorksU.S. Department of the Army104 Army PentagonWashington, DC 20310Submitted online via regulations.govRE: Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OW-2018-0149: Revised Definition of “Waters of theUnited States,” 84 Fed. Reg. 4154 (Feb. 14, 2019)Dear Administrator Wheeler and Assistant Secretary James:We oppose your proposal to substantially limit the number of waterways receiving protectionunder the Clean Water Act. This rule would endanger critical wetlands and streams across thecountry—waterways that our craft breweries depend on to provide the clean water we use tobrew our beer.Beer is mostly water, so the quality of our source water significantly affects our finished product.Compounds present in brewing water can affect pH, color, aroma, and taste. Sulfates make hopstaste astringent, while chlorine can create a medicinal off-flavor. The presence of bacteria can1
spoil a batch of beer. Even small chemical disruptions in our water supply can influence factorslike shelf life and foam pattern.Unexpected changes in water quality—due to pollution in our source water, or a change in thetreatment process at our local drinking water plant—can threaten our brewing process and ourbottom line. We need reliable sources of clean water to consistently produce the great beer that iskey to our success. It is thanks in part to this important natural resource that the craft brewingindustry contributes about 76.2 billion to the U.S. economy each year, along with more than500,000 jobs.1For years, craft brewers have been asking for more clean water protections, not fewer. Wesupported the 2015 Clean Water Rule because it helped protect the sources of drinking water for117 million Americans from pollution and destruction, providing certainty that we wouldcontinue to have access to the clean water on which our livelihoods depend. Importantly, thatrule was based on sound science. The record showed that the waters it protected had biological,chemical, and physical connections to larger downstream waterways.This proposed rule, to the contrary, ignores the overwhelming scientific evidence that protectingsmall streams and wetlands is essential to ensuring the quality of America’s water sources. Itwould prohibit applying federal pollution-control safeguards to rain-dependent streams andexclude wetlands that do not have a surface connection to other protected waters. It also invitespolluters to ask for even greater rollbacks, such as eliminating protections for seasonally-flowingstreams.We strongly oppose these proposed changes, which would affect millions of miles of streamsand most of the nation’s wetlands. Science shows that protecting these waters is important todownstream water quality. We must maintain clear protections for the vulnerable waterways thatprovide our most important ingredient.We are depending on you not to roll back the safeguards established under the Clean Water Act.Protecting clean water is central to our long-term business success. Moreover, it is vital to thehealth and the economy of the communities where we live and work.Thank you for considering our views on this important matter.1Brewers Association statistics from 2017. omic-impact-data/.2
