Abstract
The final rule that redefines “waters of the United States” for purposes of federal regulation and oversight under the Clean Water Act was published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2015, and became effective Aug. 28, 2015. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Army Corps of Engineers, the overall intent of the rule is to provide clarity on a complicated process for determining federal jurisdiction by making the definition “easier to understand, more predictable, and consistent with the law and peer‐reviewed science, while protecting the streams and wetlands that form the foundation of our nation's water resources.”
