EPA requests public input on water rule limits
The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking public comments to refine the definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), aiming to limit federal protections for certain wetlands following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling. The proposed rule will focus on permanent water bodies and directly connected wetlands, balancing water protection with state and tribal management. The agency expects feedback over 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
