ARA Filed Comments to EPA, Army Requesting WOTUS Public Comments

ARA filed comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army (Army) requesting a 60-day extension of the comment period for defining the "Waters of the United States" or WOTUS as the agencies pursue future rulemaking proceedings.

"ARA believes the current 30-day comment period is woefully inadequate for all interested stakeholders to provide the type of in-depth input the agency needs," says ARA Senior Vice President of Public Policy & Counsel Richard Gupton in the comments.

The scope of jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act (CWA) is fundamentally important to ARA members, their farmer customers and the ag industry as a whole. Read more background information on WOTUS in ARA's comments linked below.
