Given the Obama administration's track record of announcing agency actions on days when they hope no one will notice, we are preparing for the possibility that as early as this Friday, EPA will announce that it has finalized its Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdictional guidance - a document put forth by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers that would set the stage for the federal government to increase vastly its authority over virtually every square inch of land where water falls in the United States, no matter how small or insignificant the water features might be. This so called "guidance" will fundamentally change peoples' rights and responsibilities under the Clean Water Act, and not for the better.
