Senator John Boozman (R-AR) is urging the Obama Administration not to move forward with its proposal to define the scope of waters that are protected under the Clean Water Act.
"This proposed rule will give Washington virtually unlimited authority over all state and local waters," Boozman said. "It’s an unprecedented takeover perpetrated by abuse of the rule making process."
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the Waters of the United States rule clarifies, rather than expands, the agency's authority over the nation's waterways.
