EPW Chairman Barrasso Pleased President Trump Moving Against WOTUS Rule

Tue, 28 Feb 2017 19:11:15 CST

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), released the following statement on President Trump's executive order to revise the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers' Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.


Chairman Barrasso, who has actively opposed the overreaching regulation, attended the executive order signing ceremony at the White House.


"I applaud President Trump for working to curtail government overreach," said Barrasso. "The Waters of the United States rule, issued under the Obama administration, placed backyard ponds, large puddles, and plowed farm fields under Washington's control. Small businesses, farmers, and ranchers would be hurt by this excessive rule, and there was bipartisan opposition to it in Congress.


"We need to clarify the distinction between state and federal waters. It is vital we do so in a responsible way that respects state and local authority while using common sense. I will continue to work with the Trump administration as it addresses WOTUS."
