The EPA will write a new rule for regulating the Waters of the U.S., or WOTUS, for the fourth time in the past decade.

“We are not looking for this to be a ping pong anymore. What we’re looking for is to simply follow the guidance from Sackett. It gave us a clear path in determining what waters for the Waters of the United States,” Zeldin said.
