Updates from Washington
1. This week, (July 16, 2007), there will be hearings on the post-Rapanos Clean Water Act jurisdiction issues. As of late last week, when Strand spoke to staff members, the witness list was still in flux. As you know, Oberstar (and Dingell) introduced a Clean Water Act Jurisdiction Restoration Bill. That bill, and the need for legislation, will be the focus of the hearing.
2. Several sources are reporting that the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) will come out of the Conference Committee for final votes by the end of July, 2007. The House and Senate staff folks have been meeting regularly on conference issues. The House still has not formally appointed Conference Committee members, so there has been no formal meeting of the Conference Committee.
