ARTBA CEO Dave Bauer’s Statement on New WOTUS Guidance from EPA

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Please attribute the following statement to American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President and CEO Dave Bauer:

“After years of WOTUS whiplash, EPA Administrator Zeldin and President Trump have taken a step in the right direction by paving the way for clearer federal water permitting requirements consistent with the Supreme Court’s unanimous Sackett decision.  

“This long-overdue guidance is critical for reducing the regulatory uncertainty that delays infrastructure improvements and needlessly increases their costs.  

“We look forward to working with the Trump administration to finalize the rule.”
