"New York, Others Challenge Trump Rollback of Waters Rule"

"A coalition of states is heading to court to challenge the Trump administration’s repeal of the Obama-era Clean Water Rule, a landmark regulation aimed at clarifying federal water protections.

New York, California, Connecticut, and other states and cities filed suit Dec. 20 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

They say Trump administration officials violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Clean Water Act by repealing the Obama-era regulation and reverting to 1986 regulations for federal water protections."

Ellen M. Gilmer reports for Bloomberg Environment December 20, 2019.
