CASS requests extension of public comment period for WOTUS repeal

CERF has joined the Consortium of Aquatic Science Societies (CASS) partners to urge the EPA and US Army Corps of Engineers to extend the public comment period for the proposed rule that seeks to rescind the 2015 Clean Water Rule (80 FR 37054), also known as the Waters of the United States or WOTUS. CASS is requesting at least a six month comment period, the same time period the agencies provided for comment on the 2015 Clean Water Rule.  CASS has already released a statement opposing the repeal of the WOTUS, and plans to submit public comments.
