The guy who sent me that has property with a swale. I have a swale.

So we have a little swale that's wet all winter and after a lot of rain we have water running across the driveway. Looks like the EPA wants to get involved. I think I'll cut the timber and bring in 95 truckloads of fill the flatten out the ground and eliminate the low area. Probably cheaper than 5 minutes with the EPA.

by claiming the sources are part of navigable waterways.

Hey, why don't we just regulate the entire biosphere as "navigable waters." It all ties into the "navigable waters" eventually.

How is that necessary when we already have a government body that determines if a waterway is navigable?

Here in WA State "navigable" water is what separates when you have to register a boat and pay license fees yearly. The rule is under 16' and less than 10hp on non-navigable water and you do not need to pay registration fees.
