A new rule change, industry advocates say, could cause construction costs to spike even further.

That decision, deemed by environmental groups as arguably"the most important water-related Supreme Court decision in a generation," stems from a 2008 lawsuit between the EPA and Idaho's Sackett family after they filled a protected wetland with gravel to build a home overlooking nearby Priest Lake.
