These comments are provided by the League of Women Voters of the United States (The League), in response to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) and the US Department of the Army’s (“the agencies”) proposed rule to revise the regulations defining the scope of waters that are jurisdictional under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), in light of the US Supreme Court's (SCOTUS’) 2023 decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. The League opposes key elements of the agencies’ proposed rule, which will significantly impair water quality protections throughout the US and are contrary to public interest.
