It's actually up to the Army Core of Engineers to determine if a wetland is under the CWA. They aren't blanket included or excluded.

- rayiner 7y agoThe Army Corps of Engineers makes decisions on individual wetlands, but they have to follow the statutory definition in the Clean Water Act. (And the Clean Water Act can only be interpreted in a way consistent with the Constitutional limits on Congress’s power to regulate intra-state activity.)
- cptskippy 7y agoSo what exactly are you arguing? The CWA stipulates what is covered and the Army Core of Engineers is responsible for interpretation. My point was that the rules rollback wasn't about farmers wanting to pollute or regulation of water ways, but rather about eliminating restrictions and regulations that inhibit land development on wetlands. Nothing you have said challenges that assertion, you just seem to be hung up on whether or not the Fed has the right to regulate something.
