It May Take Time for New Administration to Address Clean Water Rule

In the past year, the Trump administration repealed the controversial Waters of the United States rule and issued a new clean water Rule.

There’s 14 active cases. It could be 18-to-36 months before the administration decides how to amend the Clean Water Act regulation.”
