| https://www.cotton.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1034 | Cotton Supports New WOTUS Rule | 2018-12-11 | 2018 | 2018-12 | Republican | House | AR | Tom Cotton | C001095 | www.cotton.senate.gov | legacy | December 11, 2018 Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement today after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Army proposed a new definition of the waters of the U.S. rule that clarifies federal authority under the Clean Water Act. "Everyone wants clean water, but the 2015 waters of the U.S.' rule was a vast and vague expansion of federal regulation, especially in Arkansas. The new definition announced today still protects our waterways while giving producers and landowners the clarity they need to farm and build. Many of the proposed changes closely mirror my own legislative solution to this regulatory problem, and I'm pleased that the Trump administration has followed through on its promise to rural America." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
