Ag Industry Thanks Trump Administration for WOTUS Replacement
The troubled 2015 Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule introduced by the Obama administration in 2015 to define which waters are regulated by the Clean Water Act was officially replaced today by the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. Farmers, ranchers and other industry groups expressed their gratitude on Thursday.
“President Trump is restoring the rule of law and empowering Americans by removing undue burdens and strangling regulations from the backs of our productive farmers, ranchers, and rural land-owners. The days are gone when the Federal Government can claim a small farm pond on private land as navigable waters,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said.
He thanked President Trump and Administrator Wheeler for “having the backs of our farmers, ranchers, and producers and for continuing to roll back Federal overreach.”
