New WOTUS rule to give clarity, cut red tape for farms

A new federal rule by the Trump administration is expected to reduce regulatory burdens on farmers by narrowing the scope of federal oversight on the nation’s wetlands and other waterways. Released last month by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the proposed rule carries out directives from the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Sackett v. EPA, ending years of regulatory uncertainty about how the Clean Water Act applies to working farmland.
