Agricultural groups have been submitting comments to the EPA on their proposed Clean Water Rule Rewrite. One of those is the National Association of Wheat Growers which supported the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. NAWG CEO Chandler Goule says what’s complicated that is a federal court has vacated the NWPR. He says they’re not giving up however on getting NWPR or its provisions implemented in any Clean Water Rule rewrite.

He says when the Trump administration put the NWPR in, it combined various court rulings and made a more transparent understandable rule for agriculture.

Goule says whatever regulation EPA finalizes must be transparent when determining what farmers and ranchers must do to adhere to it.

Goule says NAWG intends to continue working with the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers as they move forward on this rewrite.
