And Thank You, #DavidChiu, #SFPUC, #LondonBreed for your leadership in environmental damage.

You succeeded in doing exactly what everyone who was paying attention predicted would happen.

Now we won't have to protect the quality of SF Bay waters, or Ocean Beach - and neither will most other cities on bodies of water except as specified on very specific permit requirements by an agency that is now gutted by the DOGE.

This is not a narrow ruling. This poses immense risks to water quality around the US, and ultimately will cost as more as more and more prescriptive regulations - what to do exactly in each case- come into being (assuming the EPA has staff to develop the regs in our new DOGE eat everything else world)
