EPA Administrator Regan answers WOTUS questions

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan tells Brownfield the release happened before Sackett vs. EPA because there are aspects of the rule the agency wanted to get on record for agriculture.

Regan says he is hopeful the Supreme Court’s ruling, expected this summer, will complement the Biden administration’s rule.
