The Clean Water Restoration Act H.R. 2421

From a recent (April 15 2008) press release:
A bill before Congress aims to keep drinking water "good to the last drop", in Ohio and across the nation. Recent Supreme Court rulings have removed Clean Water Act protections from a number of waterways- mostly smaller streams and wetlands- and the proposed law would clearly state that those waterways are protected."

........

"Critics say the proposal would hurt farmers who use the waters in question - Goldman-Carter says it includes exemptions for agricultural use."


So what's the read deal behind this controversial act? Here are some background links for your edification. Look and learn, y'all.
