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.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said it will alleviate some regulatory risks for farmers and will closely align with a Supreme Court ruling on Sackett v EPA, according to DTN.
“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.
