Beveridge & Diamond principal Drew Silton (Washington, DC) will speak during an eLearning webinar presented by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)'s Environmental & Water Resources Institute titled, "Waters of the United States (WOTUS) and Professional Practice." 

The webinar will discuss the history of how courts and EPA have defined WOTUS, including recent efforts by the Trump administration to rescind and replace the 2015 Clean Water Rule. These regulatory developments, coupled with both ongoing and threatened litigation, will introduce uncertainty and risk for those seeking to build projects and to engage in other activities in what might be jurisdictional waters. The webinar will also cover the recently-promulgated Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which seeks to create a new, narrowly drawn definition of WOTUS, as well as how likely challenges to the rule will affect the regulatory landscape over the next several years.

The webinar is complimentary. Please RSVP here or contact Barbara Whitten, Technical Manager at ASCE, for more information.
