Items Removed From Consent Agenda <br />g_ Resolution — Clarification of Federal Jurisdiction Under Clean Water Act <br />The Board considered a resolution asking Congress to re- establish the Clean Water Act <br />jurisdiction to the full scope of waters protected and resolve Clean Water Act jurisdiction issues. <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that this basically says that the Federal Clean Water Act <br />and the agencies enforcing it do not have jurisdiction over every ditch and depression that may <br />hold water after a rain. He agrees with that and that it is excessive regulation. For that reason, <br />he thinks that this is not a wise resolution and he would like to vote against it. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />approve the resolution, which is incorporated by reference, and direct the Clerk to the Board to <br />send copies to North Carolina's federal delegation and the Conservation Leaders Network. <br />VOTE: Ayes, 6; No, 1 (Commissioner Yuhasz) <br />6.
