During a press conference yesterday, a
bipartisan group of senators announced the Federal Water Quality Protection Act
that requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Army Corps of
Engineers to rewrite the proposed waters of the US regulation.
President of the National Association of
Wheat Growers (NAWG), Brett Blankenship, issued the following statement.
“We applaud the efforts by this group of
Senators and the introduction of this bill that seeks to protect the water
quality of navigable waters and more clearly define what waters of the US
includes and does not include. On behalf of the nation’s wheat growers, we look
forward to working with Congressional leadership to ensure a swift passage. We
are very supportive of this legislation that addresses significant flaws in the
proposed WOTUS rule.”
NAWG also joined a group of agricultural
organizations voicing support for the Act by signing on to a letter sent to the
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. This legislation establishes
sound principles to guide the agencies’ action on a “waters of the US” rule
so the final result reflects the statutory limits created by Congress.
