The U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota has lifted a stay on the Waters of the United States lawsuit. The 24 states that challenged the WOTUS rule are expected to file an amended complaint against the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers. The lawsuit was filed in July when the EPA issued a new final rule that removed the ‘significant nexus’ term from the WOTUS definition. The states have until mid-November to file an amended complaint.
