Denham Urges President-Elect Trump to Rescind Defining Water Rule

Congressman Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) sent a letter to President-Elect Donald Trump this week, strongly encouraging him to repeal the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Water of the United States,” a rule he called both “harmful and flawed.” “The EPA should not be putting restrictions on Valley farmers’ use of their property,” said Denham. “The people spoke, Congress acted, and the current administration refused to acknowledge their concerns. President-Elect Trump has a real opportunity to support the ag community that feeds America by immediately rescinding this burdensome rule.”
