ACEC is submitting comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its Waters of the U.S. proposal, asking the agency to clarify several definitions in order to better understand the extent of the proposed regulation's reach.

Opponents of the Waters of the U.S. proposal claim it expands the Clean Water Act to bring almost every body of water in the country under federal jurisdiction. The EPA asserts it is merely a clarification of the Act.

The public comment period ends on November 14.
