I’m sure the brave women of the Air Force will get right on this.
The Air Force has reached an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to address contaminated drinking water in Tucson, Arizona, despite recent legal attempts to shirk responsibility.
The EPA announced Tuesday that the Air Force was finally in compliance with an emergency order issued in May telling the service to clean up contaminated groundwater around Tucson International Airport. In the 1980s, a 10-square-mile area around the airport, including nearby military facilities such as Air Force Plant 44 and Morris Air National Guard Base, was designated as a Superfund site.
Trichloroethylene and 1,4-dioxane have been previously detected, as well as more recent concentrations of PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down easily and build up in the body. Those chemicals have also been tied to health risks such as various cancers, high cholesterol and liver damage, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Everyone living in the United States deserves to be able to drink safe water, without fear of contamination from PFAS and other harmful pollutants,” EPA Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Assurance David Uhlmann said in a news release. “We welcome the efforts by the Air Force to meet its obligations to service members and the residents of Tucson.”

The Air Force’s Wednesday statement failed to acknowledge, however, its efforts this summer to buck responsibility for the EPA’s emergency order.
In a July letter responding to the EPA, which Military.com reported on, Air Force lawyers leaned on a landmark Supreme Court decision this summer — Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo — that ultimately reduced the power of regulatory agencies by pushing an interpretation of vague or confusing laws to the courts, ending a practice often referred to as “Chevron deference.”
Even if the EPA is able to make this ruling, they have no ability to enforce it.
There are poisonous chemicals in everyone’s water, and bottled water is not much better. Even if the bottled water is properly cleaned, it all comes in plastic, which leeches into the water.
In America, you have an absolute right to gay sex, but clean water, not so much.
The EPA says Tucson’s drinking water is contaminated, but the Air Force says it doesn’t have to do anything thanks to the Chevron ruling.https://t.co/wPTmE8VoNR
