I am certainly not against regulation, but the clean water act was limited to the navigable waters. Right or wrong, that was the law. The legislative branch is responsible for legislation, not the EPA or executive branch. That is what the US Constitution outlines. If someone pollutes these waters, then that is where the "teeth" should come in, not in constructing such a bureaucratic nightmare that conservationist landowners are priced out of improving the conservation value of their own property. Something is very broken.
