In CO, vast numbers of streams are temporary or ephemeral, flowing only after major rainstorms & during spring runoff season. The Sackett decision said only wetlands that had a surface connection to continually flowing water qualified for protection. Many wetlands in CO have a sub-surface connection to streams, rather than one that can be observed above ground.
With the passage of this bill, CO wetland & ephemeral streams are once again protected.
