In late May, the court ruled that wetlands can only be regulated under the Clean Water Act if they have a 'continuous surface connection' to larger, regulated bodies of water.
SALT LAKE CITY — The highest court recently ruled to strip federal agencies of authority over millions of acres of wetlands in Sackett v. EPA.
By a 5-4 vote in late May, the court said wetlands can only be regulated under the Clean Water Act if they have a"continuous surface connection" to larger, regulated bodies of water. Before the change, the regulation limited the ability of farmers, homebuilders and other developers to dig up or fill wetlands near rivers, lakes and streams.

Supreme Court ruling complicates Navajo Nation's fight for more waterA Supreme Court ruling this week will make it harder for the Navajo Nation to get water from the Colorado River. No one disputes that century-old treaties give them a right to water flowing through their reservation. The court found that the federal government isn't responsible for securing that water for the 170,000 tribal members who live there. It's a win for Arizona, Nevada and California. They said requiring them to accommodate the Navajo Nation's needs would upend negotiations over water supplies for 40 million people and a $15 billion-a-year industry that grows most of the nation’s winter vegetables.
