In the U.S. District Court for South Carolina Judge David C. Norton issued an injunction against the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers' "Suspension Rule" that delayed the effective date of the Clean Water Rule for 2 years. The result of this injunction is to essentially reinstate the Clean Water Rule (26 June 2015, Federal Register) in 26 states; the remaining states are subject to district court injunctions currently blocking implementation of the Clean Water Rule.
