On December 11, 2018, the EPA and Department of the Army proposed a rule revision for the Waters of the United States (WOTUS), with the goal of providing a clear, understandable and implementable definition.

During February 2019, ADEQ held stakeholder meetings in Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson to listen to stakeholder comments regarding the proposed rule revision. For more information about these meetings, including comments submitted by Arizona stakeholders, visit the website at azdeq.gov/wotus.

ADEQ reviewed the submitted comments and collaborated with other state agencies to draft Arizona’s response to the rule revision. ADEQ will host a webinar on Friday, April 19 at Noon to share this information with Arizona stakeholders.

On the day of the webinar, you can see it here. You can also call in by phone at 240-454-0879 and use Access code 803 335 479.
