WOTUS

EPA and the Department of the Army have proposed to both repeal the 2015 rule for and revise the definition of “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS), halting decades-long progress toward understanding how rivers, streams, wetlands and other water bodies interconnect to provide clean drinking water and clean water for industrial needs. EPN wrote comments, a white paper and presented testimony on how these Administration actions jeopardize maintaining and protecting U.S. water quality.
