    New guidance from the EPA and USACE.

    Regulatory Alert: EPA and USACE Publish Final Rule on Waters of the United States
    https://www.swca.com/news/2023/01/regulatory-alert-epa-and-usace-publish-final-rule-on-waters-of-the-united-states
    On December 30, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced a final rule that will update the definition of waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) for use in regulations under the Clean Water Act (CWA). This rule is the latest, but certainly not the last, attempt to codify nationwide regulations that define the jurisdictional extent of the CWA.

        Big implications here…

        Overall a win for property rights. But a huge portion of wetlands in the US have now lost federal protection.

          I know one guy that not only consults on wetland issues, he also owns mitigation properties. You think that might be a conflict of interest ? Who’s watching him ?

            The US Army Corps of Engineers handles permitting of jurisdictional wetland impacts and associated mitigation. Approval is a major process, and if approved, mitigation success has to be monitored and reported to the Corps on a regular basis.
