The US EPA and Army Corps of Engineers issued a controversial rule in 2015 regarding Waters of the United States (WOTUS).
According to a recent article on CNBC:
“The Waters of the United States rule, known as WOTUS, was drafted during the Obama administration and broadened the definition of such things as “tributary” and also toughened controls over “adjacent waters.”
Agriculture groups have been critical of the rule, claiming farmers could lose ranch or farmland because of the regulations. Homebuilder groups also lashed out at the Obama water rule and said it was costly to their business.”
