Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) president Richard Thorpe issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s executive order that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers reevaluate the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.
“The WOTUS rule is a misguided attempt to control water on our ranches and private lands by imposing overly burdensome regulations and harsh penalties on landowners. It would destroy the livelihoods of Texas ranchers by regulating them out of business, and threaten our ability to provide America with a safe and affordable food supply. I commend President Trump for recognizing the peril of such a rule and taking action to control federal overreach.”
