Federal Judge Halts WOTUS Rule in Multiple States to Protect Waterways.

A federal judge in North Dakota has granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Biden administration's definition of "waters of the U.S." in 24 states, pending the outcome of the lawsuit filed by the 24-state coalition in U.S. District Court in North Dakota. The lawsuit is led by West Virginia. The injunction stops the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from implementing or enforcing the newly revised definition of the Waters of the United States in North Dakota and 23 other states.
