An Update on Waters of the U.S.

Brian Seasholes is an independent consultant who works heavily on wildlife and land-use issues. Today he will share updates with us about a case that will be going before the Supreme Court: Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The case stems from the EPA's enforcement of the Clean Water Act, which was used to prevent the Sackett family from building on their own property decades ago. In this long-awaited case, the Sacketts are looking to the Supreme Court to clarify and specifically define what the EPA can regulate under the Clean Water Act and what it cannot. The case can have a monumental impact on landowners everywhere when it comes to how they can utilize their own land.

What is the Cogongrass Mitigation Program?

Travis Chesser is the Forest Specialty Supervisor/Cogongrass Crew Leader for the Alabama Forestry Commission. Cogongrass is a federally listed noxious weed that grows naturally in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It has been introduced into other parts of the world, and it's now on every continent except Antarctica. Cogongrass is a serious threat to native ecosystems, and unfortunately the weed has become widespread in some parts of Alabama. To try to combat the problem, the Alabama Forestry Commission recently launched the Cogongrass Mitigation Program, which seeks to reduce the number of acres affected across the state and eliminate the threat by assisting landowners affected by cogongrass. Travis will speak with us about the recently launched program, how landowners can tell if they have cogongrass, and how they can apply for the program.
