It’s all about clearing regulatory obstacles.
Three federal agencies work together to throttle tens of thousands of new housing units every year: The United States Army Corps of Engineers , the Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service .
It is certainly possible for the new Trump teams at the Departments or Defense and Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency to issue clear and precise directives for a regulatory package necessary to cut the five-decade-developing Gordian knot that these agencies and laws have wrought, and to do so on January 22, 2025.
If you have read this far, you have waded though five paragraphs of as-close-to-laymen’s-language-as-possible translation of 'bureaucratese.' The handful of lawyers who represent landowners in these matters—I’m retired but the ranks of the truly competent species/wetlands permitting lawyers are very few—are nodding. It would take a day or two to draft the liberating language for the budget-reconciliation process. And the productivity payoff would be immense. And almost immediate.
There are efficient ways to protect genuinely endangered species and to protect actual rivers and wetlands actually physically adjacent to those rivers. But the CWA and ESA don’t do those things as presently interpreted and administered. They instead function as full employment acts for bureaucrats, biologists, consultants and lawyers.
