We have to ask, why isn’t New Hampshire part of this lawsuit?
(CN) – The Sixth Circuit on Friday stayed a new Environmental Protection Agency rule defining “Waters of the United States” that 31 states accuse of trampling their sovereignty.
Attorneys general from 31 states asked the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers in July to delay implementation of a Clean Water Act rule for at least nine months for judicial review.
The rule defines “Waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act. The states claim it asserts federal jurisdiction over streams, wetlands and other water bodies previously considered to be under their jurisdiction.
