The chief counsel at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says for the first time in a long time, there’s a light at the end of the regulatory tunnel for the Waters of the United States rule.
Mary – Thomas Hart tells Brownfield the definition of WOTUS changed last year.
“WOTUS is only traditional navigable waters and relatively permanent waters with a continuous surface connection to those traditional navigable waters. It means a lot of things we’ve fought over for the past 30 to 50 years are no longer federally jurisdictional.”
She says NCBA is happy with how the Environmental Protection Agency responded to the 2023 U.S.
