What the bill does
Narrows the definition of 'navigable waters' under the Clean Water Act, reducing the number of waters subject to Section 404 dredge/fill permitting.
Who must act
Homebuilders and land developers who require federal permits for projects near wetlands, streams, and other waters currently classified as WOTUS.
What happens
Fewer development projects require federal permits, lowering compliance costs and shortening approval timelines, which reduces development expenses and accelerates project delivery.
Stock impact
D.R. Horton, as the largest U.S. homebuilder, develops thousands of lots annually; a significant share may be on land currently subject to federal jurisdiction. Reducing permit requirements could save tens of millions in costs and improve inventory turnover.
What the bill does
Same as above: narrows the definition of 'navigable waters', reducing Clean Water Act jurisdiction.
Who must act
Homebuilders and land developers, including Lennar, who need Section 404 permits for projects in or near waters.
What happens
Reduced need for federal permits lowers regulatory costs and delays, improving margin on new communities.

Lennar, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, with extensive land holdings in areas subject to WOTUS regulation. Fewer permit requirements directly reduce development costs and time-to-market.
