OMAHA (DTN) — The future remains in flux for the Trump administration’s Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR), as court cases continue to play out and the potential for yet again more changes to the Clean Water Act remains in play for the next administration.
Legal battles continue in several courts, where states and environmental groups have challenged the new rule.
SOUTH CAROLINA CHALLENGE
A federal court will hear arguments from EPA and environmental groups on a pair of motions for summary judgment in one ongoing lawsuit challenging the rule.
The U.S. District Court of the District of South Carolina in Charleston set a Feb. 4 hearing in this case.
