Obviously you've been too busy with the liberal diarrhea you are so eager to lick up like a gluttonous tool to do any actual fact checking. You have to go read Section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1342) to understand whats going on here.
I read that bill as soon as you posted your poo spew. The bill does not do anything you have claimed it does. It simply gets rid of excessive regulations and fines. It does not make it legal to dump rat poisons and pesticides in the water. Under current rules you have to have a permit and you have to register every. All this bill does is say that if you have to register a pesticide you do not need to have a permit to use it.
In fact, you can still be fined for it if you discharge the stuff in the water. Under the current rules ANY discharges of insecticides cost $35,000 per day per incident. This bill simply says that in the case of accidental discharges, fines may only be levied under a select set of circumstances. In other words, the EPA is still able to fine people and companies for neglect or intentional dumping, but cannot punish people for accidental contamination. The reason your idiotic lib leaders don't like this bill is that they are economic neophites and are worried about the money they will lose in fines. The EPA that the government would lose $10 million a year if they couldn't fine people for accidental discharges.
EPA has estimated that approximately 365,000 pesticide users, including state agencies, cities, counties, mosquito control districts, water districts, pesticide applicators, farmers, ranchers, forest managers, and scientists that perform 5.6 million pesticide applications annually will be affected by the court's ruling. This mandate would virtually double the number of entities currently subject to NPDES permitting under the CWA.
Farmers, ranchers, forest managers, and scientists will already suffer if they have accidental discharges. All fining them excessively in addition to their lost productivity does is put them out of business. Let me give you an example: A farmer gains nothing by throwing pesticides in the water. It's actually in a farmers best interest to use pesticides responsibly, so it's not like were talking about intentionally dumping poisons as you so foolishly believe. If a farmer has an accidental discharge he loses expensive pesticides and crops. He is still responsible for the cost of cleaning up the mess. $35,000 per day in fines on top of that can ruin a farm pretty damned quick.
Reigning in the overbearing regulatory practices of the EPA is what HR 872 is about. If you tried pulling your lips off the Bamsters hemorrhoids long enough to read the shit you parrot from your masters in Washington, you might actually get a clue some day.
