Capito: Court's WOTUS Action a Win for West Virginians

Statement

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement regarding today's decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that blocks the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from implementing the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule nationwide:

"Today's decision by the court is a win for hardworking West Virginia families, small businesses, energy producers and others across the country who would be unfairly burdened by the onerous and deeply flawed WOTUS rule. The court's decision confirms that WOTUS was the wrong approach to protecting our water resources and reinforces the need to rein in this administration's unprecedented and overreaching regulations."
