Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement on the proposed rule announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to revise the “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule and provide greater certainty for farmers.
“For years, the Biden administration refused to listen to ag producers and the states that have given ongoing feedback about changes to the WOTUS rule. The Trump administration’s proposed rule reflects significant stakeholder input and is a big win for our farmers and ranchers. The new rule rolls back red tape, gives clarity to our ag producers, and protects Americans from the overreach they endured during the last administration.“
