Terry Wood steps in for Chad Booth on this week’s episode as we ask the question, “who has jurisdiction over the washes in Southern Utah.” Susan Wood collects the background story on the new southern parkway that takes people from I15 to the new St. George Airport. The road is done, but there are some questions as to whether UDOT secured all of the proper permits. The Army Corp. of Engineers has asserted jurisdictional authority over some of the washes that the new road crosses. The question is whether they have that authority under the clean water act.
