New Water Rule Provides Clarity for Regulated Industries

WASHINGTON, November 17, 2025 – The Waters Advocacy Coalition, which is made up of farmers, homebuilders, manufacturers and other job creators, released the following statement about EPA’s proposed Waters of the United States rule.

“We applaud EPA and the Corps’ efforts to bring our nation’s job creators one step closer to relief from years of federal government overreach by offering a clear, durable Waters of the U.S. rule. WAC strongly endorses the agencies’ commitment to respect the legal boundaries articulated by the Supreme Court and to restore the balance Congress intended more than 50 years ago when it enacted the Clean Water Act.”

“The Waters Advocacy Coalition represents America’s job creators who deliver the services families rely on every day; from producing energy, building homes and infrastructure, to growing food. These industries need regulations they can understand. We look forward to more closely analyzing the proposal and offering comments to ensure that this rule protects America’s waterways while offering certainty to landowners throughout the country.”
