Stewart Responds to the President's Natural Resources Memorandum | 2015-11-03 | 2015 | 2015-11 | Republican | House | UT | Chris Stewart | S001192 | stewart.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement in response to the Presidents memorandum on Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Related Private Investment. This memorandum calls on federal agencies to take additional steps to offset the environmental impacts of development, specifically expanding the 26 year old no net loss wetlands policy. It would have a significant impact on use of federal lands and potentially on the use of all natural resources. The Presidents Executive Memorandum is a very big deal, Stewart said. "It is destructive to States rights, the political process, and good policy and to call it a power grab is a gross understatement. If this is carried out, it would be devastating for economic activity in the western United States. Equally appalling, it will further erode the basic trust between American people and this president. We all want to protect the environment, but it doesnt have to be at the cost of our western way of life. As a member of the Appropriations committee, I will use every tool at my disposal to ensure that this outrageous Presidential decree is never implemented. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
