Smucker Statement on WOTUS Executive Order

February 28, 2017

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-16) released the following statement on President Trump's executive order that rolls back the EPA's harmful Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule:

"President Trump's executive order is welcomed news to farmers, manufacturers, and businesses in communities across our district. Just last week I heard from members of our agriculture industry that the EPA's harmful WOTUS overreach creates more red tape in a regulatory environment that is already too burdensome. By signing this executive order, President Trump showed he is listening to the American people."
