Help Stop a Misguided Permitting Bill that Threatens Whitewater Rivers

Congress voted last week to move forward a misguided permitting bill that threatens whitewater releases, river health, our ability to intervene in hydropower licensing, and to force the removal of deadbeat dams. Send a letter to congress today using our easy-action form. American Whitewater staff have nearly 50 years of experience working in hydropower licensing and are the experts policy makers look to when trying to understand complex policy proposals. We analyze bill text line by line, testify before Congress, propose fixes to lawmakers, and we’ve been doing all this in DC over the past month to stop or update this legislation, but the hydropower industry has a lot of clout and this bill is basically a wish list they’ve been hoping to slip past voters for a long time. So here’s where you come in and one more area where we’re the experts–bringing boaters’ voices to the table. Make your voice heard today to protect water quality, flows for fish and recreation, and our access to public waters by sending a letter to your reps today!
