Recently, I joined my colleagues on a Congressional Inquiry to the EPA requesting, a 90 day comment period extension for the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers revision to the Clean Water Act definition of Waters of the United States proposed on April 21. 2014. As you are aware, this proposal would expand federal jurisdiction under the CWA to include manmade conveyances, ditches, and ephemeral water streams. An expansion of this magnitude seems to give limitless jurisdiction and would drastically impact many of our constituents.
