Thankfully, the definition included in the PA Clean Streams Law includes groundwater and all tributaries/streams. There have been rumblings for decades regarding paring down the definition to match "waters of the United States", which limits what waters are covered under the regs. I'll give you one guess which political party wants to amend the law. It's also very interesting that a certain political party wants to limit what is and is not pollution in our state. In their proposed bill, the polluter gets to decide whether they are polluting...
