Indiana is moving to eliminate state protection of isolated wetlands, with the support of building associations and the Indiana Farm Bureau but against vocal opposition from the environmental community.

A federal judge has dismissed a challenge from the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association to the Trump Administration’s Navigable Waters Protection Rule, leaving the rule in effect in that state.
The 1996 Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to repeal regulations it doesn’t like, was once a little-known, rarely used legislative tool. No more.
A federal judge has declined to block implementation of the Trump administration's Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which will allow it to go into effect Monday as scheduled, replacing the Obama-era "waters of the U.S." rule.
Seventeen states and two cities are suing the Trump administration over its Navigable Waters Protection Rule, joining a host of environmental groups that have already filed lawsuits challenging the new definition of "waters of the U.S."
