President Trump is expected to order the EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers to review and reconsider the controversial Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.

“This is a positive step toward ending the threat of this gross overreach of an agency’s jurisdiction,” said Michael W. Johnson, NSSGA president and CEO.
