On March 12, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that EPA will work with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to review the definition of “waters of the United States.” A joint memorandum also issued guidance to field staff on implementation of “continuous surface connection” consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s May 25, 2023, decision in the case of Sackett v. EPA.
The agencies announced a Federal Register notice publicizing six listening sessions and a 30-day recommendations docket to solicit feedback on key aspects of the definition of “waters of the United States.” Opportunities to attend the listening sessions and provide comments will be posted on the Public Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement Activities web page.
