Summary:

Examines a final rule presented by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers that redefines two key terms, "fill material" and "discharge fill material," in regulations that implement section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which deals with discharge into navigable waters. Discusses the revised rule, focusing on how it would change which material and types of filling activities are regulated under section 404, and the significance of these issues, especially for the coal mining industry
