Wetland Wednesday

December 18, 2019

As you may or may not be aware, next week is a pretty important week for wetland regulation. On December 23, 2019 the new Waters of the US definition goes into effect nationwide. So far there are no stays or court challenges that have derailed the implementation of the new rule. In short, the 2015 Obama era Clean Water Rule is repealed and the old WOTUS rules remain in effect. However, there are some subtle changes that may have big impacts depending on the type of project you are working on.
