NDFB President Daryl Lies is pleased with the court decision regarding the Waters of the United States rule. Lies said U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland recognized the regulatory overreach. “In his statement, he said it was obvious there are constitutional concerns regarding interstate waters whether they are navigable or not. That’s the original thing addressed in 1972 when the Clean Water Act came about.” This decision comes at a time when the U.S. Supreme Court is also reviewing the WOTUS rule. “It was pretty brazen and bold and overreaching by this administration’s EPA to come out with another rule before the ruling was in from the Supreme Court.”
