The Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers have extended until October 20, 2014, the comment period on the groundbreaking proposed rule to define Waters of the United States. EPA informed select stakeholders on June 10, but the EPA "waters" website shows the comment period extension. http://www2.epa.gov/uswaters
