NCGA calls for water rule withdrawal

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is calling on the EPA to withdraw its interpretative rule on Waters of the U.S.

In comments submitted to the agency, NCGA said it has serious concerns over the impact of the rule regarding the exemption from permitting under the Clean Water Act. NCGA also voiced strong concerns over the potential legal liabilities which could arise as result of the rule.

NCGA asked the EPA to withdraw the rule and work with the ag community to develop an alternative approach that would allow for farmer comment and an opportunity to protect their interests.
