Cotton Commends Supreme Court for Rejecting EPA’s WOTUS Regulations
Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in a 9-0 decision against the Environmental Protection Agency’s Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) regulations:
“President Biden’s WOTUS rule was a return to a deeply flawed Obama administration policy, when the EPA tried to assert authority over nearly all water on farms, ranches, and other private property. The original rule complicated producers’ ability to do anything, from planting to fertilizing to dirt work. But the Supreme Court has now settled the matter, and this administration or any other may not overstep those bounds again.”
