Regarding Trump's EO to repeal [Hussein's] WOTUS Waters of the US (Water Regs) that affect farmers & ranchers = which POTUS mentioned tonight in his speech:
(Feb 28, 2017) - POTUS EO
Presidential Executive Order on Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the “Waters of the United States” Rule
Tangible change in EPA/BLM Actions under Trump:

Parties Settle Red River Dispute
In November, a settlement was reached in an ongoing dispute between the federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Texas landowners who own land along the Red River, which separates Texas and Oklahoma. Under the settlement, the parties agree on how the southern boundary of the Red River is to be determined going forward–based on the gradient boundary line, but the current gradient boundary was not specifically identified.
*(gradient boundary is basically the wetline of the riverbank)
—
([Hussein's] BLM had been trying to confiscate Texas farmers' & ranchers' land along the Red River thru bogus land surveys due to change in course of the river over time. Which in some places is more than a mile from the actual riverbank. [Hussein's BLM was just going to "claim" the ranchers' land, that they'd been paying taxes on, as federal property.)
—
(Oct 22, 2019) - Reversal of [Hussein's] 2015 WOTUS complete.
Definition of “Waters of the United States”-Recodification of Pre-Existing Rules
Effective Date:
12/23/2019
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army (“the agencies”) are publishing a final rule to repeal the 2015 Clean Water Rule: Definition of “Waters of the United States” (“2015 Rule”), which amended portions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and to restore the regulatory text that existed prior to the 2015 Rule. The agencies will implement the pre-2015 Rule regulations informed by applicable agency guidance documents and consistent with Supreme Court decisions and longstanding agency practice.
(This finalized reversing [Hussein's] WOTUS "water grab" & reverted WOTUS to pre 2015 status.)
