All you have to do is look at what this bill does for the environment. There is in this bill an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act. Do you know what it does? It allows unregulated underground injection of chemicals during oil and gas development so that we threaten clean water. Did anybody in America say, I think it is a good idea for us to have chemicals put into the underground water supply in order to bring out oil and gas? Why would we exempt it from the standards we have applied to our Nation over the course of the last 30 years? The oil and gas industry is getting an exemption for their construction activities from compliance with the Clean Water Act. Why would you exempt construction activities from compliance with the Clean Water Act?
