| 摘要： | Washington, D.C.-The Biden administration announced a final rule to conform its contentious Waters of the United States (WOTUS) definition to a divided Supreme Court ruling that did not go its way. Unveiled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the new rule will take effect when published in the Federal Register. It appears to have done little to quiet the debate over WOTUS that has lasted through three administrations. A "disappointed" EPA Administrator Michael Regan conceded the two agencies were obligated to apply the top court's decision in the Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency case to their WOTUS rule. In its May decision, the court ruled that federal regulation could be applied only to wetlands with a continuous surface connection to jurisdictional waters. The EPA stated its amendment to its WOTUS definition is limited and addresses only those parts ruled invalid under the Sackett decision. |
