Inside the September 2023 Edition

On August 29, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of the Army (the agencies) announced a final rule amending the 2023 definition of “waters of the United States” to conform with the recent Supreme Court decision in Sackett v. EPA. While the 2023 rule defining “waters of the United States” was not directly before the Supreme Court, the decision in Sackett made clear that certain aspects of the 2023 rule were invalid. The amendments issued are limited and change only parts of the 2023 rule that are invalid under the Sackett v. EPA decision.
