Everglades National Park. In order to ensure the health of the Everglades, we must restore Clean Water Act protections to the small streams and wetlands that feed into it. At the same time, pollution from cities and new development is contaminating the Everglades. To reduce this pollution and stop sewage pollution from harming them further we need the EPA to create new rules that will reduce runoff from new and existing developments, and apply runoff standards to all communities.
Another day of the Trump Administration, so of course, there is yet another fresh horror unleashed on the American people and the environment.

Less than two years later, in February 2017, after several failed attempts by Senate Republicans to kill the rule .. https://www.nrdc.org/experts/jon-devine/clean-water-rule-survives-senate-effort-kill-it , President Trump signed an executive order .. https://www.nrdc.org/experts/jon-devine/president-trump-attacks-clean-water .. directing the EPA and the Army Corps to begin the process of repealing the Clean Water Rule, with the aim of eliminating it altogether. Today, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt indicated that the two agencies will send a proposal to repeal the rule.
“This proposal strikes directly at public health,” said NRDC president Rhea Suh. “It would strip out needed protections for the streams that feed drinking water sources for one in every three Americans. Clean water is too important for that. We’ll stand up to this reckless attack on our waters and health.”
The Clean Water Rule, also known as the Waters of the United States (WOTUS), limits pollution in the streams and wetlands that feed our larger waterways—critical for safeguarding the drinking water that more than 117 million Americans rely on and for ensuring that people across the nation can continue to swim in and otherwise enjoy these bodies of water. “The Clean Water Rule provides the clarity we need to protect clean water. Its repeal would make it easier for irresponsible developers and others to contaminate our waters and send the pollution downstream.” Suh said.

So add the attack on the Clean Water Act to the failed attemptS to repeal and replace Obamacare, and
to the pulling out of the Paris Accord, to things Trump has done which Hillary wouldn't have done.
