If someone from your WOTUS team has ti me on Thursday, I would 1ove to drop by EPA to di scuss the posi ti on of Wyomi ng with regards to Waters of the United States. WOTUS has been one of my primary focus areas for Governor Mead's team - primarily because it has been a significant driver of my workload for over a decade as both an NRCS professional and as the Governor's Poli cy Advi sor for Water. > > We were extremely acti ve in the comment phase for the proposals from the previ ous admi ni strati o n . I have included those comments for you and your team to revi ew. Our Fi nal WOTUS comment 1etter is the most important, but the others help frame our 1evel of concern, interest, and the fact that we requested many times for the withdrawal of the proposed rule. > > I have also included the a Bi11 whi ch Senate EPW was worki n g .
