On December 11, 2018 the Acting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler held a live video announcement about the upcoming release of the revised regulatory rule on the definition of the “Waters of the United States” – also referred to by some as the Clean Water Rule. According to Wheeler, the rule will be advertised in the Federal Register within the next four weeks but will also be posted in advance on the EPA website. Once the Rule is advertised in the Federal Register, there will be a 60 day public comment period. Wheeler stated during the question and answer session of the video announcement: “the rule will allow you to stand on your own property and tell whether it is a water body under Federal jurisdiction.”
