In this episode of the Ecobite Podcast, join Liv Haney, Product Manager for Ecobot, and her co-host Chris Fleming as they dive into a discussion with guest Fred Wagner about the long-standing debate surrounding Waters of the US (WOTUS) and implications of Sackett vs. EPA. They explore the lack of clarity and certainty in the interpretation of the Clean Water Act, leading to multiple court cases and differing opinions. The episode delves into the challenges faced by Congress in drafting clear laws, the lack of consistent enforcement by regulatory agencies, and the confusion this causes those trying to understand their rights in regard to WOTUS. The hosts also discuss the potential implications of the court's rulings on state-level regulations and the involvement of advocacy groups. Tune in to gain insights into the complexities of water regulation and the ongoing pursuit of certainty in environmental law.
