Administrator Zeldin announces EPA will revise Waters of the United States Rule

Clearer, streamlined permitting will cut compliance costs, reduce cost of living, follow Supreme Court rulings

LENEXA, KAN.—U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that EPA will work with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to deliver on President’s Trump’s promise to review the definition of “waters of the United States.” The agencies will move quickly to ensure that a revised definition follows the law, reduces red-tape, cuts overall permitting costs, and lowers the cost of doing business in communities across the country while protecting the nation’s navigable waters from pollution.
