Waters of the US - From SCOTUS TO WOTUS TO POTUS TO WOTUS TO(?) SCOTUS

Event Description

Deadline to Register: January 22, 2019

Lunch will be provided. Registration will begin at 11:30 am. The program will begin at 12:00 pm.

What is a water of the United States? Since 2000, determining the reach of this key, yet undefined by statute, jurisdiction element of the Clean Water has been confusing and contradictory as it has included two trips to the Supreme Court, three different administrative definitions and rules under three different administrations, numerous Federal district and circuit court fights and a pending return to the Supreme Court.  The Trump administration has just announced its own WOTUS rule and more litigation is expected.  We are assembling a panel of experts that will discuss where the WOTUS rule has been and where it might be going, and more importantly, how it affects your clients and businesses.  We will answer the question does this fight really matter in Minnesota.
