Repeal and reissue the waters of the United States rules
What the document says“the repeal and reissuance of new regulations should be pursued.”
The passage concerns the definition of waters of the United States and Clean Water Act section 401, which governs state certification of federally permitted projects. The definition determines which waters and wetlands fall under federal jurisdiction and has been repeatedly revised and litigated.
What the document actually says“the repeal and reissuance of new regulations should be pursued.”
These water rules should be repealed. New ones should be written.
One rule decides which streams and wetlands the government controls. It has changed many times. The book says it should be scrapped and rewritten.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
