Oregon just passed its own EPA standards. The current administration may change the Federal standards on water and air pollution and Oregon will carry on with the stronger standards.

"The Oregon Environmental Protection Act, House Bill 2250, seeks to ensure a strong baseline standard following the erosion of federal environmental protection standards by the Trump Administration. The legislation tasks the Oregon department of Environmental Quality and the Oregon Health Authority with using the “baseline federal standard” of Jan. 19, 2017, the final day of the Obama Administration, when assessing environmental law changes that would be less
protective of public health, the environment, or natural resources."
