December 20th - WOTUS 2.0

WOTUS 2.0: Implications of this week’s Trump Administration proposal to revise the definition of the term “waters of the United States” for the purposes of the Clean Water Act.

On December 11, 2018, the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers issued a proposed rule revising the definition of the term “waters of the United States” as it is used in the federal Clean Water Act.  The proposed rule is the second time in the last 4 years, and 7th time since the Act was adopted that the federal government has revised the definition.  Each iteration of the definition has had different implications for municipalities – both to the infrastructure that municipalities own and operate, and the property and interests of the residents.  The latest proposal continues that trend with a very clear roll back of the 2015 rule.  During the webinar we will discuss how the most recent is likely to impact municipalities and its likely path forward in light of existing litigation over the 2015 rule.
