Waters of the U.S.

The State of Montana has had a long-standing disagreement with the federal government after the EPA shifted how it read and enforced a rule called the ‘Waters of the U.S.’ or WOTUS.

After the announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday rolling back what has been called federal overreach by former President Obama’s Waters of the U.S. rule, Environment Montana issued a press release condemning the decision.

Spokesman for Attorney General Tim Fox, Eric Sell said a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing continuation of legal challenges to the WOTUS policy is a win for many western states..

The hits just keep on coming to the U.S. Government and the Environmental Protection Agency through decisions related to the Waters of the U.S case from the U.S. Supreme Court.
