"Trump Administration Looks To Boost Case To Repeal Obama Water Rule"

"The Trump administration acted Friday to try to bolster its case to repeal the Obama administration’s controversial water pollution regulation.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers, which administer the Clean Water Act together, first proposed in July 2017 to repeal former President Obama’s Clean Water Rule.

Those agencies put out a “supplemental” notice Friday in which they double down on their previous assertions that the 2015 regulation created significant “uncertainty” and is incompatible with the law and Supreme Court precedent."
