EPA and Army Seek Additional Public Input on "Waters of the U.S." Definition

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of the Army have announced a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. This action seeks additional public input on regulatory language for defining "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), to be considered alongside a 2025 proposed rule. The agencies aim to develop a durable definition that aligns with Supreme Court direction and protects water quality.
