WOTUS executive order « Jo. Nova. Smile. One more noxious, power- grabbing bit of legislation: fixed. Farmers and land- owners lost control of the puddles and ditches on their land under the guise of environmental protection. Remarks by President Trump at Signing of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Executive Order. Buy Top Cat Begins (2017) Movie. The EPA’s so- called “Waters of the United States” rule is one of the worst examples of federal regulation, and it has truly run amok, and is one of the rules most strongly opposed by farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers all across our land.
It’s prohibiting them from being allowed to do what they’re supposed to be doing. It’s been a disaster. The Clean Water Act says that the EPA can regulate “navigable waters” — meaning waters that truly affect interstate commerce.
But a few years ago, the EPA decided that “navigable waters” can mean nearly every puddle or every ditch on a farmer’s land, or anyplace else that they decide — right? It was a massive power grab.

These abuses were, and are, why such incredible opposition to this rule from the hundreds of organizations took place in all 5. It’s a horrible, horrible rule. Has sort of a nice name, but everything else is bad. I didn’t know I’d necessarily be in this position to do something about it, but we’ve been hearing about it for years.
With today’s executive order, I’m directing the EPA to take action, paving the way for the elimination of this very destructive and horrible rule. So I want to thank everybody for being here. And I will sign wherever I’m supposed to sign. There we are. h/t David BVN: F.
