American Farm Bureau Federation Statement Regarding Nationwide Stay of Waters of the U.S. Rule

Fri, 09 Oct 2015 11:38:30 CDT

 American Farm Bureau Federation Statement Regarding Nationwide Stay of Waters of the U.S. Rule Statement by Bob Stallman, President, American Farm Bureau Federation,
Regarding Nationwide Stay of Waters of the U.S. Rule



"A federal court today ordered the EPA to stop enforcement nationwide of the Waters of the United States rule. The American Farm Bureau Federation is pleased the Sixth Circuit recognizes that this rule has serious flaws and cannot go forward until the courts have had an opportunity to understand its effect on farmers, ranchers and landowners of all kinds.


"The judges expressed deep concerns over the basic legality of this rule. We're not in the least surprised: This is the worst EPA order we have seen since the agency was established more than 40 years ago. The court clearly understood our arguments.


"We are confident that the courts will strike down this rule. Unfortunately, we also know stays don't last forever, and cases like this almost always take years to win. So we again ask the Senate to pass legislation to nullify this rule just as the House has already done. Farmers and ranchers cannot afford to wait."


A copy of the court order can be found here.
