51% :Zippy Duvall, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation:"EPA had a golden opportunity to write a Waters of the U.S. Rule that's fair to farmers and stands the test of time, but instead chose to continue government overreach and revise only a small slice of the rule that was rejected by the Supreme Court.
50% : The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Tuesday announced a final rule amending the 2023 definition of the "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) rule.
47% :Ted McKinney, CEO of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA):"The ruling in Sackett v. EPA was a chance for EPA and the Army Corps to correct a deeply flawed, prematurely released rule and work to truly improve water quality outcomes.
42% : It is baffling that the revised rule does not accurately address all the issues and questions raised by the Supreme Court in the Sackett decision, nor does it address many of the questions stakeholder groups raised about the WOTUS rule EPA released at the end of last year."
40% : But EPA has ignored other clear concerns raised by the Justices, 26 states, and farmers across the country about the rule's failure to respect private property rights and the Clean Water Act.
