EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin will make a water policy announcement Thursday with members of Arizona’s congressional delegation, the agency said Wednesday. The event will feature Arizona Republican Reps. Andy Biggs and Rep. Paul Gosar and take place at EPA headquarters. It will include a “signing ceremony,” the agency said. … EPA previously held a water policy announcement and signing ceremony with officials from West Virginia. At that event, EPA granted the state’s request for authority over carbon dioxide injection wells, which are regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Arizona has also applied for that same authority from EPA.
