As administrations have changed over the past few years, so has the Waters of the US rule. Each administration has had its own share of proposed rules, litigation, appeals, and injunctions. Additionally, court cases have come into play on what Waters of the US rule is currently effective This has become a new normal for professionals that work with Waters of the U.S. over the past few years. This presentation will dive into a brief history of the most recent legal proceedings relating to Waters of the US and give the latest update on the most current rule, as well as any proposed rules, regulating Waters of the U.S.
