The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wrapped up its series of stakeholder listening sessions intended to gather input on a revised definition of “waters of the U.S.,” otherwise known as WOTUS.
“Through these sessions, the agencies gained invaluable insights representing on-the-ground perspectives of farmers and ranchers, homebuilders and construction contractors, miners and energy producers, manufacturers, states, Tribes, elected officials, environmental groups and the general public,” EPA said in a statement.
EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers plan to issue a proposed rule in the coming months to clarify the implementation of the Clean Water Act and WOTUS.
