Wetlands are wetlands and waters are waters but what makes them jurisdictional?

For the past 6 years there have been thousands of pages of reports, regulations, guidance, court decisions, and news headlines all about “waters of the US.” Sorting through the swamp of this has been no easy task.

What is regulated as a “Water of the US” has changed a lot since it was first induced in 1899. In recent days we have seen significant revisions to the definition only leading up to legal challenges resulting in repeals.

The problem we all face is that as project move forward we still need to be concerned with what is and what is not regulated as a “Waters of the US.”  We at the Swamp School have put together a comprehensive online workshop on what are the current rules, how to apply them and how to navigate through the proposed and envisioned changes. We will cover the brand new Jurisdictional Determination Form that was released with RGL 16-1 and some tips on what needs to be included on it.  Join us online on December 2, 2016 at 1 PM EST for a fully interactive online workshop on what the current rules say and how to work with them on your projects.
