The March 25, 2019 outreach includes WGA Policy Resolution 2017-01, Building a Stronger State-Federal Relationship, and references successful collaboration efforts between western states, EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the development and execution of policy, including the proposed rule, ‘Waters of the United States.’ “Western Governors value their partnerships with EPA and expect that you will engage states in a productive and substantive manner befitting cooperative federalism,” states the letter signed by WGA Executive Director Jim Ogsbury.
