EPA Concedes to Attorney General Cameron, Protecting Kentucky Farmers and Landowners from WOTUS Rule. Attorney General Daniel Cameron secures a significant victory as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agrees to halt the enforcement of the redefined Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.
Attorney General Cameron's legal challenge against the Biden Administration's new rule, which expanded the EPA's authority over waterways and farmland, led to the EPA's concession and commitment to rewrite the rule in compliance with the law.
This win safeguards Kentucky from excessive federal regulation and protects the rights of farmers and landowners. Attorney General Cameron's unwavering opposition to what he considers radical environmental policies resulted in successful appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and a unanimous Supreme Court ruling against the EPA.
The federal government's agreement to restart the rule-making process ensures that Kentucky's agricultural community can operate without burdensome government interference. This victory marks another step in Attorney General Cameron's ongoing efforts to defend the state against federal overreach.
