Summary: This EcoPerspective discusses the EPA’s and Army Corps of Engineers’ attempt at redefining the meaning of “waters of the United States.” Since the Supreme Court decision in. Rapanos v. United States. , the jurisdictional reach of those agencies over waters with a significant nexus to navigable waters has been somewhat unclear.

The desire alone to protect these natural playgrounds does very little to address the greater environmental harm that results from work and other day-to-day activities. _.
