On September 27, 2017, NAR submitted comments as part of WAC, which represents organizations in the construction, real estate, mining, manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, energy, wildlife conservation, and public health and safety sectors. The comments support the EPA's and Army Corps of Engineers' proposed repeal of the 2015 Clean Water Rule and recodification of pre-existing Rules. The letter reiterates WAC members' consistently raised concerns with expansive theories of CWA jurisdiction that: (1) fail to preserve the States’ traditional and primary authority over land and water use; and (2) ignore the limits set by Congress and recognized by the Supreme Court.
