I strongly oppose this petition. Applying the flawed logic that undergirds the Sackett v. EPA decision to Virginia's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act significantly weakens protections for wetlands across Virginia. Wetlands don't occupy the same place in the public imagination as beaches, but they provide crucial benefits to Virginia residents, reducing flood risks, preventing erosion, filtering pollutants from runoff, and providing habitat for native species. Reduce the number of Virginia wetlands, and all we're doing is degrading our ability to reduce flood risk, to control erosion, reduce pollutants, and provide habitat for Virginia wildlife.
