"The Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Rule: What It Is and Why It’s Important" (Audubon; 3/1/17)

"The EPA under the Obama Administration argued that the rule makes life easier for businesses, since clearer definitions would give them a better shot of understanding the regulatory issues involved. It also left the rules entirely unchanged for agriculture, adding no new requirements. President Trump disagrees; his executive order calls for a policy that balances keeping pollution out of navigable waters with 'promoting economic growth' and 'minimizing regulatory uncertainty.'"
