U.S. Congressman continues anti-WOTUS push

U.S Congressman Sam Graves of Missouri is continuing his pushback against the Biden administration’s attempt to return to the Obama-era Waters of the U.S. rule.

Graves said the move is a ‘classic’ example of government overreach…

“…and trying to take away somebody’s property rights and trying to have the ability to come in and regulate you out of business,” he said.

The Congressman said moving away from the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which limited EPA’s oversight to rivers and streams, adds uncertainty to federal jurisdiction.
