I want to stress that this is just the first step to fixing many of the regulatory issues we identified in discussions with the current administration. There will be plenty more to come.

Under the previous administration, the EPA declared the ditch was a federally-protected waterway, and Robertson needed a federal permit under the Clean Water Act.

• WOTUS rule finalized
• Reminder on new claim fees

• Comments needed regarding proposed NEPA improvements
• Efforts underway to fix the ESA

We have learned over the years, of course, that “previous development,” “roadless,” and “local support,” are in the mind of the beholder.
