EPA Floats Supplemental Rule on Waters of the US
Original: WOTUS Supplemental Proposed Rule
A supplemental proposed rule on the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) has been put forward, drawing attention from environmental and legal commentators. The rule concerns which waterways fall under federal protection under the Clean Water Act, a long-contested issue that shifted after the Supreme Court's Sackett decision narrowed federal jurisdiction. Observers are weighing how the supplemental rule balances court rulings against broader water protections.
Why now: Federal jurisdiction over US waterways is a live regulatory and legal controversy, and a new proposed rule invites comment and debate.
