The ag advisor at the Environmental Protection Agency gave an update on the Waters of the United States rule at the Ag Outlook Forum on Monday.

The EPA’s amended Waters of the United States rule is now in effect across 23 states including Minnesota, Illinois,, and Michigan. Due to ongoing litigation, the 27 other states are still abiding by the pre-2015 WOTUS rule. Rod Snyder says it kept the ag provisions but changed, “only the parts of the 2023 definition that were invalidated by the Sackett decision.”

That includes removing a few tests used to determine whether a water is considered WOTUS.
