Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) are publishing a final rule defining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA or the Act), in light of the statute, science, Supreme Court decisions in U. S. v. Riverside Bayview Homes, Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC), and Rapanos v. United States (Rapanos), and the agencies' experience and technical expertise. This final rule reflects consideration of the extensive public comments received on the proposed rule. The rule will ensure protection for the nation's public health and aquatic resources, and increase CWA program predictability and consistency by clarifying the scope of "waters of the United States" protected under the Act.
