>The US air force is refusing to comply with an order to clean drinking water it polluted in Tucson, Arizona, claiming federal regulators lack authority after the conservative-dominated US supreme court overturned the “Chevron doctrine”. Air force bases contaminated the water with toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” and other dangerous compounds.

Air Force with a bizarre misunderstanding of what Chevron and Loper entailed. The EPA is the enforcement agency, and overturning Chevron doesn’t change that fact.
The CWA explicitly gives authority to the EPA in its text, so this would be moot anyways
