“"If you can't even rely on a permit that you've already gotten, then I mean, we've got a serious problem,"”

“"Even though there's only been one example of the retroactive vetoes, the fear is that it can be used, and it would be used,"”

“"The reliance, the consideration, the cost, and the reliance interests of the permit holder are certainly things that [EPA] can make it very clear have to be considered,"”

“the agency could impose constraints, including requiring officials to consider costs imposed on permit holders and their reliance on previously issued permits”

“"If President Trump issued the executive order, it might help provide a real signal of the importance that the administration places on having such a 404(c) veto issue included into the permitting reform package,"”

“an executive order from Trump highlighting the issue could pressure EPA to pursue a durable administrative solution while signaling to lawmakers that the Section 404(c) provision should be addressed in broader permitting legislation”

“"Ultimately, Congress really has to do something here, but you got to work multiple angles, and you have to walk and chew gum at the same time,"”

“congressional action would provide the strongest protection but argued that the administration should also examine what EPA can accomplish under existing law”
