NAWM Comments on Updated Definition of "WOTUS"
The National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM) submitted comments in response to the proposed rule, “Updated Definition of ‘Waters of the United States’,” EPA-HQ-OW-2025-0322. The NAWM letter addresses the following key issue areas: 1) importance of working with states and tribes to define WOTUS; 2) definitions and implementation of “relatively permanent waters,” “tributary,” and “adjacent wetland”; 3) appropriateness of proposed tools for implementing jurisdictional tests; 4) proposed approaches to exclusions from WOTUS; and 5) elimination of interstate waters as a category of WOTUS. The full comment letter can be found here.
