Let's hope this is the beginning of the end of federal overreach. The federal government, using the EPA as its shock troops and the Clean Water Act as its warrant, has long had ideas about controlling privately owned land through the regulation of waterways. While the EPA has been acting with authority over "navigable waterways" since the 1972 Clean Water Act became law, it earlier this year extended, without congressional input, that authority through its "clean water rule."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_puddle_peddler.jpg
