Marten Law Group has a very comprehensive post on the Clean Water Act amendments pending before Congress.
The post tracks the development of statutory amendments to the Clean Water Act, specifically to address the jurisdictional issues raised and highlighted by the Rapanos decision. As the Marten Law post notes, this issue presents a confluence (no pun intended) of state rights, property rights and environmental law, bound certainly for the U.S. Supreme Court to clear, the muddy (sorry, couldn't help) waters.
My partner, and fellow blogger, Robert Thomas has several posts on Rapanos and its progeny (here, here, here). My source for the "muddy waters" reference.
