Armstrong Statement on Biden Administration's Efforts to Repeal Navigable Waters Protection Rule

Press Release

Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced efforts to repeal the Trump administration's Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR).

"The Waters of the United States rule would have been a disaster for North Dakota's farmers and ranchers," said Congressman Armstrong. "The Trump administration was right to revise the WOTUS rule and put forward a policy that strikes a balance to keep our waters clean without destroying thousands of North Dakotans' livelihoods. I am grateful to Administrator Regan for coming to North Dakota and listening to our concerns on this rule, and I urge the Biden administration to consider the harm to our communities that going back to failed one-size-fits-all policies would cause."
