Summary:

Examines debate surrounding joint EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers proposed rule to clarify which waterbodies are considered "waters of the United States," and thereby subject to Clean Water Act (CWA) regulation, permitting, and protections. Assesses implications for certain activities in these waters, such as addition of pollutants and the dredging or filling of material through excavation or mining, which would require a CWA permit.
