An appeals court has ordered a nationwide stay against the Waters of the U.S. Rule.
The court decision says the rule could be overturned based on the merits of the lawsuits filed against the regulation.
The Order was issued by the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Appeals against the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers on Friday.
A three-judge panel voted 2-1 to stay implementation over concerns that the rule may cause a burden to state and federal governments, private parties and the public in general.
The Court can claim jurisdiction over the many pending lawsuits against the controversial rule.
