AFBF President Zippy Duvall on Tuesday, May 09 2017 praised the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to collaborate closely with governors regarding revision of the Waters of the United States rule.  

“EPA Administrator Pruitt’s decision to consult with the states before revising the Waters of the United States rule marks a sharp break with the recent past,” Duvall said. “His letter to the 50 state governors requesting their comments on what a new rule should do recognizes the checks and balances that were written into the Clean Water Act in the first place.”
