The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers conclude a series of roundtables this week gathering stakeholder thoughts on changing the Waters of the U-S Rule.  Courtney Briggs, American Farm Bureau Federation Senior Director of Government Affairs, says the goal of these events was to find regional differences.  Briggs says, however, the discussions won’t be considered in the rulemaking process.  Briggs says the rulemaking process continues, but the Supreme Court will weigh in soon.
