In 1992 the law changed to include anything that is defined as "navigable". OK, that doesn't sound so bad. You're 250 miles from any water that has a barge in it, right?

Wrong. If your water ever finds its way to the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, Pacific, Mississippi River, Rio Grande, Chattahoochee, or any other real water, then your water is navigable.

Doesn't this make my gutters and downspouts "navigable"? And for that matter, by their definition, aren't my kidneys navigable?


Hey Moe, I'm trying to think but nuthin's happening!
