STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30561 / HJM004
Idaho's water quality standards are the most sophisticated in our nation and have been approved by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA currently has a proposed rule which circumvents Idaho's
standards by using 19th century tribal treaties. This threatens Idaho's sovereignty over Idaho water rights.
This memorial solidifies Idaho's opposition to the proposed federal rules.

There is no impact to the general fund nor local government.
