Apathy, denial, ignorance, intimidation, and a instilling sense of helplessness is what these regulators seem to count on to take control over every aspect of a person's life. As it stands now, any field agent can arbitrarily claim your land falls under CWA/EPA jurisdiction, and by their regulations, you have no recourse other than acceptance and compliance.
In West Texas and the desert areas, will the definition of "neighboring", when coupled with the similar situations guidelines, now change a "region" from 1 square mile, to 10, 100, 1000?
Will the new "Riparian" definition now change from the normal banks of a stream to the entire area between two different streams?
Will a "flood plain" be the 10, 100, 500 year levels, or will they invoke archeological proportions?
Since the EPA already has given itself "Final Authority" to decide what it controls, they can interpret it in any way they choose.
