ABC Opposes WOTUS Rule in T&I Hearing

On Feb. 7, the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment held a hearing titled, “Stakeholder Perspectives on Impacts of the Biden Administration’s Water of the United States Rule.” Prior to the hearing, ABC sent a letter to the subcommittee expressing opposition to the Biden Administration’s WOTUS Rule, and also issued a statement of support for a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) on the Biden Administration’s flawed and burdensome “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule (H.J. Res. 27). An identical measure was also introduced in the Senate by 49 Senators, led by Environment and Public Works Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito, R-W. Va.
