The Environmental Protection Agency removed federal protections for a majority of the country’s wetlands on Tuesday to comply with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

    By “removing” I presume this means they changed the definition…just read; yes. The definition has been changed from being near streams, oceans, rivers and lakes to those with direct connects to the aforementioned. If we had a competent congress this could be fixed last April. But we don’t. So clean water regs don’t apply to anything that is near-but-not-touching those waterways.
