A federal court issued an injunction Sunday, partially blocking the Biden administration from moving forward with a regulation that would broadly redefine protected waters.
The Trump administration had reversed the Obama-era rules, loosening federal protections on water sources, such as puddles and ditches, that it didn't consider navigable waterways or in need of federal oversight. A federal court, though, struck down the reversal in 2021 and implemented a middle-ground WOTUS interpretation that didn't go as far as the Obama administration's rule.
"Together we have won an initial victory to stop the Biden administration from subjecting Idaho to federal overreach." The lawsuit from Texas and joined by Idaho was also consolidated with a challenge from several industry groups that asked the court to implement a nationwide pause on the rule. Brown wrote in his decision that he"determined that they are not entitled to any injunctive relief apart from that granted the States."
