The main purpose of this legislation, known as the FRESHER Act of 2025, is to improve the regulation of stormwater runoff from oil and gas operations. It aims to address environmental concerns related to water pollution caused by these activities and to ensure better protection of water resources. Key provisions of the FRESHER Act include amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. One significant change is the removal of a specific permit requirement related to stormwater runoff from oil and gas operations.
