H.R. 7008 is a bill that wants to make sure people can only argue about certain water permits in court for a short time, and it also sets time limits for the court and others to decide what to do next. However, some people worry that making everything happen faster could lead to mistakes, especially if safety is not urgently at risk.

In simple terms, this bill says that special state programs to control water activities in Michigan, New Jersey, and Florida can only be changed if Congress agrees. This makes sure the states can keep running their programs without unexpected changes, like a big guarantee or promise.

The "Reducing Permitting Uncertainty Act" is about rules for keeping water clean. It says when the EPA boss can say "no" to dumping waste in certain places. They can do this only after some steps are done and before a special permit is given, for at least 30 days.

The bill wants to change the rules for how certain building projects, like pipelines or roads, can affect lakes, rivers, or other water areas. It plans to make the approval for some projects last twice as long and skip some environmental checks, which might mean less frequent checks on how the water is being affected.

The bill is about making sure that the states of Michigan, New Jersey, and Florida can keep their special permissions from the Environmental Protection Agency to manage some water-related activities by themselves. This means the EPA can't take away these permissions easily, unless Congress says so with a new law.

This bill is like making new rules to help keep our water clean and safe. It wants to make sure there are clear steps and timelines for people who need special permission to do things that might affect our water, like building projects. It also makes sure that everyone can say what they think about these projects and that their voices are heard.
