NAHB joined a broad coalition of farmers, miners and foresters Feb. 7 to ask the U.S. District Court in Texas to issue a nationwide preliminary injunction prohibiting the federal government from enforcing or implementing the 2015 WOTUS rule, which defines the extent of the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers’ regulatory jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
The rule has been stayed since October 2015 when the Sixth Circuit issued a nationwide injunction that kept the EPA from enforcing the rule and allowed the 1986 definition to remain in effect. Then in September 2015, the District Court in North Dakota enjoined the rule from taking effect in 13 states.
