Abstract
The term “waters of the United States” has sparked half a century of debate among policymakers, judges, Supreme Court Justices, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Army Corps of Engineers, culminating in the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. This Article chronicles the interpretive history of “waters of the United States” within the context of wetlands and discusses the broader implications of the Sackett decision on the nation’s water bodies.
