You will own nothing, and we will own everything.
Don’t spit in your back yard.

Out of control government is out of control.
If you cannot get an ocean-going ship on it from the open sea then it is not a part of the Waters of the United States. Go take a hike!
I think my 50 yr old Grumman canoe should be the standard for determining “Navigable Waters”.
At my choice of a day during a 30 year period.
Hint: it doesn’t fit in my gutters... [ever].
This issue and the Supreme Court were to me the most important issues of the 2016 election.
WOTUS lets the EPA literally regulate a 10 ft square area in the middle of an Iowa cornfield.
If a cat tail plant is growing there , it’s a “wetland” according to EPA.
Wicked regulation
"Biden admin quietly reinstates 'overreaching' EPA rule potentially regulating 'puddles and ditches'"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to police the environment, especially with non-popularly elected bureaucrats.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
smaller waterways could affect the health of waterways they flow into

She doesn’t know just where I pee.
Or my dog, for that matter.
Brings to mind - “They say that if a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian rain forest, it can change the weather half a world away. “
But change that to if a salamander pees in Diego Garcia . . . it is under the control of the EPA half a world away.
Then, what about those Astronauts peeing on the moon? Or Patton off the bridge into the river?
The county agent sat me down and told me the following...
"It's easier and more efficient for us to declare everything wetlands, and then work backwards to lift the parcels out of that status in the future one at a time based on intended use"
"We receive federal funding at the county level for management of wetlands and protection of wetlands"
(so everything is wetlands until you contest it to prove its not)
Indeed the last two years have proved it and the next two years it will happen much faster.
Do all the damage while in control so it will take years to repair it if at all.
Opens up vast areas for the government to control using the overused excuse “for the common good”.
Damn, we have to get Trump back in office....
This term “navigable” is supposed to apply to watercraft but these dorks at the EPA started applying water fowl use as navigable.
Before Trump changed the rules almost all of the State of Utah was considered “navigable”.
You thought Trump had fought off the EPA who killed the farmer for having a pond.
They were just waiting for their chance to resume.
I lived in WA state and indeed a puddle during the winter actually stopped construction. The EPA is STASI by another name.
Only to be enforced against those who do not support the communist party.
Congress’s authority extends only to “navigable” waterways per the Constitution.
No definition is provided.
