This is a Very serious issue! If the Obama Administration is able to use the EPA to change the rules, the Fed government will control ALL waterways and personal water ie.. regulate the run off of the rain water on your roof! Congressman Markwayne Mullin is fighting this, however the Dem controlled Senate is providing cover to allow the Prez and EPA to do this.

Rep. Bennett: New EPA, Corps Regulations Bad for Rural Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Environmental Protection Agency and Corps of Engineers want to bypass the word “navigable” in the Clean Water Act thereby expanding the lands and waters they can regulate to nearly all waters and lands in the United States, said state Rep. John Bennett.
If successful, the EPA and Corps would have wetlands jurisdiction over all waters of the United States
and “all activities affecting all waters of the United States.”
“We all know about the overzealousness of the EPA,” said Bennett, R-Sallisaw. “You must educate your U.S. Senators and Congressman about the EPA and Corps and their attempt to dilute or eliminate the “navigable waters” requirement. This is another way for the Obama Administration to circumvent Congress and have more control over states and its citizens. It is similar to what is going on in Nevada, where the federal government is trying to take over land from the state that is occupied by “protected turtles.”
The EPA and Army Corps are trying to push through new "Expanded Clean Water Act Wetlands Jurisdiction Regulations" that would effectively neutralize and bypass the Supreme Court decisions that said the EPA and Corps cannot regulate all waters in the Nation or even all waters with a hydrological connection to downstream “navigable waters.”
New EPA and Army Corp’s Clean Water Act Jurisdictional Regulations appear to be modeled after their now withdrawn Wetlands Guidance Regulations. These new Jurisdiction Regulations would allow these agencies to regulate waters now considered entirely under state jurisdiction.
Agriculture, commercial and residential real estate development, electric transmission, transportation, energy development and mining will all be affected and thousands of jobs will be lost. The residual effect of these regulations will be to increase costs and spread more costs and red tape to every landowner.
