Alabama joined 24 states in a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tuesday, according to a news release from the Attorney General’s office.
This is a decades long debate over the EPA’s control of certain bodies of water under the Clean Water Act.“This new final rule is another bureaucratic power grab by the Biden Administration that will have negative effects on Alabamians,” Attorney General Marshall stated. “In Alabama, we have one of the nation’s most diverse and robust aquatic ecosystems, and the responsibility of managing those waters rests first with the state of Alabama, not federal bureaucrats.
Notably, the new rule redefines “navigable waters” to include ponds, certain streams, ditches, and other bodies of water under the CWA, as determined by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers. The coalition’s lawsuit indicated that “if the final rule is left in place, then ranchers, farmers, miners, homebuilders, and other landowners across the country will struggle to undertake even the simplest of activities on their own property without fear of drawing the ire of the federal government.”
