SUN JOURNAL • March 19, 2020
I write in response to the Sun Journal’s article to upgrade the Androscoggin River’s classification. The current federal administration has reversed the 1972 Clean Water Act that limits pollution in waterways. The Obama administration had clarified that rule. A wide range of environmental protections are similarly being eliminated. The Trump administration has embarked on the biggest land protection rollback in U.S. history. I hope the Androscoggin River does not revert to its polluted state. ~ Donald Vaillancourt, Lewiston
