Event Details
Overview
Join Fredrikson's Environmental Law Group for a timely update on significant developments under the Clean Water Act and water quality regulations in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Our attorneys will discuss recent legal and regulatory changes affecting businesses, developers, municipalities and other regulated entities across the Upper Midwest.
Topics will include:
- “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS): An update on how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are implementing this foundational jurisdictional term under the Clean Water Act, including the agencies’ November 2025 proposed rule that would once again revise the regulatory definition of WOTUS.
- Implementing Sackett: A review of how federal and state courts have interpreted Sackett v. EPA since the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2023 decision significantly narrowed federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction over wetlands.
- State Water Law Developments: The latest trends and emerging issues in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin water regulation, from stormwater and spills to permitting, PFAS, and other key developments.
Whether your work involves permitting, compliance, enforcement, litigation or project development, this program will provide practical insights into the evolving legal landscape governing water resources in the Upper Midwest.
