The resource was compiled by Rollins, who specializes in environmental law as it intersects with agriculture, and NALC Research Fellow William Gaspard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good timing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Clean Water Act has evolved throughout the years, and Rollins said the resource comes at a significant time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the Supreme Court\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uaex.uada.edu\/media-resources\/news\/2023\/may\/05-26-2023-ark-wotus-update-01JL.aspx\">decision<\/a> in\u00a0Sackett v. EPA, which narrowed the Clean Water Act\u2019s permitting jurisdiction over wetlands, it is important for the regulated community to be aware of what is required in their state,\u201d Rollins said. \u201cWhile a federal permit may no longer be required for their operations, a state permit still could be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ruling in Sackett significantly narrowed the Clean Water Act, and specifically the definition of WOTUS, or waters of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the Sackett ruling, the EPA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uaex.uada.edu\/media-resources\/news\/2023\/august\/08-30-2023-ark-nalc-WOTUS-EPA-rule.aspx\">changed<\/a> its definition of WOTUS, which was a huge shift \u2014 it changed how many bodies of water that were previously designated as WOTUS can be used,\u201d said Rollins.<\/p>\n<p>The resource, titled \u201cStates\u2019 Wetlands Permitting Statutes,\u201d is one of the NALC\u2019s many state compilation resources. It is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/state-compilations\/wetlands-permitting\">nationalaglawcenter.org\/state-compilations\/wetlands-permitting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome states have no separate state permitting system for wetlands, while others have complex requirements,\u201d said Rollins. \u201cColorado, for instance, has passed new wetlands permitting requirements, and it\u2019s possible that more states will do the same in the coming years in response to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to regulations and policies evolving, the resource will be regularly updated.<\/p>\n<p>For a full list of NALC State Compilations, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/state-compilations\">nationalaglawcenter.org\/state-compilations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming WOTUS conference opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the third annual Western Water, Agricultural, and Environmental Law Conference, Tess Dunham, partner at Kahn, Soares and Conway, will discuss the legal and regulatory landscape following the Sackett ruling during her session, \u201cWOTUS &amp; Water Quality in the West in a Post-Sackett World.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To read the full news release, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uaex.uada.edu\/media-resources\/news\/2025\/march\/03-21-2025-ark-nalc-wetlands-resource.aspx\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Drew ViguetNational Agricultural Law CenterU of A System Division of Agriculture March 21, 2025 Fast facts: New NALC resource compiles state wetlands regulations Compilation is available at no cost online FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. \u2014 The National Agricultural Law Center has a new resource that can help users navigate the specifics of wetlands permitting regulations at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12026],"tags":[13743,14102,12685,5306,10977,5783,26136,17111,57220],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-147886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture","tag-agricultural","tag-center","tag-law","tag-national","tag-navigating","tag-publishes","tag-regulations","tag-resource","tag-wetlands"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
