Yellowstone Dam Project/ Overturning Stream Protection Rule



H.J. Res. 38 Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of the Interior known as the Stream Protection Rule
Stream Protection Rule
“We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE or OSM), are revising our regulations, based on, among other things, advances in science, to improve the balance between environmental protection and the Nation's need for coal as a source of energy. This final rule will better protect water supplies, surface water and groundwater quality, streams, fish, wildlife, and related environmental values from the adverse impacts of surface coal mining operations and provide mine operators with a regulatory framework to avoid water pollution and the long-term costs associated with water treatment.”
