New “Durable Definition” Established for Waters of the United States (WOTUS)

Posted August 3, 2021
in Top Ag News

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced updates are on the way to the much-talked-about Waters of the United States (WOTUS) definition which has caused stress among landowners. Agricultural groups have long argued the Obama-era WOTUS definition, adjusted in 2015, risked waterways and the stakeholders and communities that rely on them due to a lack of clarity and definition. The EPA plans to rely on a majority of the old WOTUS rule’s definition with additional adjustments based on farmer and rancher feedback. Find out how input from farmers and ranchers could help shape the definition.
