Farm Bureau highlights Calif. farmer case as warning on WOTUS

摘要

The American Farm Bureau Federation is publicizing a California farmer's dispute with the Army Corps of Engineers as a cautionary tale for what could happen if the Obama administration's Clean Water Rule is adopted. Tehama County, Calif., grower John Duarte is suing the Army Corps of Engineers and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board over claims that Duarte violated the Clean Water Act in discharging dredge-and-fill materials in a nearby creek without a permit.
