Sen. Cramer on EPA's repeal of WOTUS

Statement

Date: Sept. 12, 2019
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Environment

U.S. Senator and Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee member Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announcing they will finalize a rule to repeal the 2015 Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule today:

"The Obama-era WOTUS rule was unlawful and an unconstitutional power grab that did nothing to advance good water management, and I applaud Administrator Wheeler for fulfilling President Trump's promise to repeal it. Today's action eliminates the inconsistent patchwork of implementation and paves the way for the administration to complete its much-needed final rule. I look forward to continuing to work with them on a replacement that is legally sound and puts states back in the driver's seat."
