Joe Biden vetoes measure seeking to rollback EPA authority on waterways -
Congress dealt a major bipartisan rebuke last week by passing a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify Mr. Biden’s regulation known as the Waters of the United States, a rule that boosts the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental authority over streams and wetlands.
“Farmers would be left wondering whether artificially irrigated areas remain excluded or not. Construction crews would be left wondering whether their water-filled gravel pits remain excluded or not,” Mr. Biden said. “The resolution would also negatively affect tens of millions of United States households that depend on healthy wetlands and streams.”
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and a lead author of the vetoed environmental legislation, criticized what she called the president’s “blatant executive overreach.”
