Washington, D.C.— Congressman Duncan released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in Sackett v. EPA to narrow the federal government’s WOTUS (Waters of the United States) overreach.

“The Supreme Court’s Sackett v. EPA ruling drastically shrinks the scope of the bureaucratic interpretation of the Clean Water Act and reaffirms our freedoms. This ruling is especially a win for farmers and ranchers whose livelihoods were threatened by the Biden Administration’s authoritarian rulemaking. The federal government has abused the WOTUS rule to regulate virtually every body of water, from streams to puddles, and this ruling narrows the authority Washington has on the lives of Americans. I am hopeful this ruling will give Americans more breathing room and provide much-needed relief from the burdensome federal overreach on our nation’s waters.”
