Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers opposing the Biden administration revisiting the Waters of the U.S. rule.
Schmitt calls the move a land grab saying WOTUS threatens Missouri farmers and ranchers’ livelihoods. He says the Navigable Waters Protection Rule protects water quality and provides certainty and clarity.
The EPA announced last week that it and the Department of the Army intend to revise WOTUS to better protect the nations water resources.
