Title: Revised Definition of "Waters of the United States" | |
Abstract:
In April 2020, the EPA and the Department of the Army (the agencies) published the Navigable Waters Protection Rule that revised the previously-codified definition of waters of the United States” (WOTUS). Following promulgation of a rulemaking to restore the regulations in place prior to the 2015 Clean Water Rule, updated to be consistent with relevant, recent Supreme Court decisions in SWANCC (2001) and Rapanos (2006) (see 2040-AG19), the agencies intend to consider further refinements in this second rule that would take into account additional stakeholder engagement and implementation considerations, scientific developments, and environmental justice values. This effort will also be informed by the experience of implementing the pre-2015 rule, the 2015 Clean Water Rule, the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule, and the 2022 Sackett Supreme Court decision. |
