AGWEB: WOTUS Meetings on the Calendar with New Recommendations in Tow
In a letter sent on Tuesday by the Waters Advocacy Coalition, demands are made for the Biden administration to exclude ditches from the definition of federal waters, include wetlands only when they can’t be distinguished from navigable waters, and erase the independent interstate waters and wetlands category.
The Coalition represents many sectors including energy, forestry, real estate, and transportation. Their affiliations range from the American Gas Association to the National Association of Home Builders and Chamber of Commerce. Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers were communicated this request.
