Addressed concerns and advocated to amend the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) definition. Concerns on CAFO permitting requirements. SUPPORTED THE FOLLOWING BILLS: - S.795, the Farmers Freedom Act, which would amend the Clean Water Act to allow prior converted cropland (PCC) to remain exempt from being regulated under WOTUS. - H.R. 3898, the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act, which would codify longstanding WOTUS exclusions for ephemeral features, groundwater, and prior converted cropland that have been included as part of WOTUS regulations over the years. - H.R.3824, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act, which would prohibit the EPA or states from requiring permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for discharges of pesticides into navigable waters if the pesticides are registered, used for their intended purposes, and used in compliance with their pesticide label requirements, as already required. - H.R.3935, the Reducing Permitting Uncertainty Act, which would prevent the EPA from vetoing a Section 404 dredge and fill permit before a permit application has been filed or after a permit has already been issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. - H.R.3897, the Confidence in Clean Water Permits Act, which would clarify that NPDES permits must include only clear, objective, concrete limits on specific pollutants or waterbody conditions, and that as long as permit holders are adhering to these clear effluent limitations, they are in compliance under the law, as outlined in the 2025 San Francisco v. EPA case.
