The way obozo and the rest of his gestapo wrote that rule, your damn bathtub was under control of the US gummint!

So glad the grownups are back in charge!

Wow ... actually rescinding regulations is rare. This is part of why I voted for Trump; we need much more of it.

This is a very nice piece of winning! Now when the rain collects in a little puddle on your property, you will no longer be in danger of your property being declared a protected waterway to be controlled and managed by the federal government.

If SCOTUS stayed it why can’t Trump tell EPA to just drop it? (Or, is nothing ever easy in government?)

Is this the same stupid regulation they used to hit that rancher in Wyoming who built a duck pond on his property?

I'm not sure if it was this rule or the Clean Waters Act.

msm and hollywood keep focusing on Russia and obstruction nonsense while Trump gets a million things accomplished and it’s not reported :)

That’s a good thing because it would be warped terribly by the MSMorons

How do regulations ever *get* on the books?

When allowed outside of the legislative process and law, regulations seem free to come and go, last for years, then be removed, only to return again in one form or another.

What is a permanent answer?

I’m okay with them revoking the U.N. River Navigator program started under Clinton as well. Federal control of these waterways always seems intrusive to me.

Granted the expansion of the concept under Obama was outrageous.

This is all great winning, but we need something that prevents the next swing in administrations from putting this all back again. There needs to be legislation (law) that puts limits on what the executive can do willy-nilly.

How will I be able to properly care for the puddle that shows up in my back yard when we have rain?

In many areas of the country, the water belongs to the government, not you. But at least now with this rule obliterated, you'll be able to fill in the puddle hole. At least we have a partial win!

Good; but talk of “winning” is premature until the rule chane is codified into law so the Democrats can’t reverse it.

Pass a law defining navigable waters as that which is is used for interstate commerce by vessels of 100 tons or greater. NOT in-state waters as that is a state’s responsibility.

Why does the EPA want to kill maxine waters?

Same reasons everyone else does!
