How Is WOTUS Impacting Your Business?
To identify issues that may arise outside the conforming definition of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) that went into effect in September 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers will be hosting multiple listening sessions to enable broad participation from co-regulators and stakeholders.
The session for industry stakeholders will take place Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 1-3:30 p.m. ET. Registration is available through epa.gov. There is a capacity limit to these listening sessions, and once that capacity has been met, registration will be closed.
Attendees may sign up for a three-minute time slot to provide verbal input. Pre-registration to speak is on a first come, first served basis and will end when capacity has been reached. Participants can also register to listen rather than speak.
If you plan to attend and are selected for a speaking role, please coordinate with Adam Pugh, NAHB program manager of environmental policy, to discuss how WOTUS is impacting your business and the industry at large.
