On Environment: Opposes Waters of the United States WOTUS Rule

Heck is also committed to protecting land rights for ranchers and other family businesses in Nevada. He vows to fight against protected federal status for the sage grouse and against the Waters of the United States, or WOTUS, Rule. "A dry irrigation ditch on a farm, once it has some water in it, would be considered a navigable waterway, subject to all the regulatory requirements of the Clean Waters Act. That's going to have a significant impact," Heck said.

The federal government owns about 87 percent of all the land in Nevada. Heck wants to see the federal government relinquish some of that back to the state and locales. He said doing that, while protecting treasured parks and forests, would allow the state to bring in more property tax revenue and use that to improve Nevada's lagging schools.
