WOTUS webinar Feb. 27; Formal comments requested

Feb 25, 2019

Join our friends at the American Fisheries Society on Feb. 27, from 1 to 2 p.m. EST, for an informative and timely webinar to learn more about the proposed WOTUS rule, the science that contradicts it, and how to submit an effective regulatory comment. This newly proposed rule to revise the definition of waters of the United Sates aims to exclude many wetlands and headwater streams critical to fish, fisheries, and ecosystem services in the Great Lakes basin.

A 60-day public comment period on the proposed rule will follow its publication in the Federal Register. We encourage IAGLR members to submit formal comments to highlight proposed impacts on the Great Lakes. Send comments to Scott McNaught (treasurer@iaglr.org), who will compile comments into a response letter from the  association.
