The Trump administration on June 1 was set to unveil a final rule that limits states' ability to block energy projects under the Clean Water Act.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler plans to sign a rule restricting the scope of state reviews — excluding issues like climate and air pollution — under Section 401 of the landmark environmental law, according to an EPA official.
It would also set a one-year deadline for states to take final actions on a permit request under the Clean Water Act.
