Been researching EPA proposed changes to the Clean Water Act.
Yow!
Talk about confusing. And dangerous to property rights and national commerce, and especially to farming.
Seems that whenever the government sticks its oar in, the waters get muddy.
I admit to not having read every single word of some of these pages, but even a quick skim will scare you.

Or it should.

| And these clouds contain water...but don't worry...the EPA regulates that too. |
Update: Here is another ridiculous overreach the boss brought to my attention.

Time to rethink the existence of the EPA. The agency has jumped the shark.
(And this from one with an Environmental Science degree and a spouse who worked for the EPA. In clean water, no less.)
I know...we have been horrified. And over here...the Gov wants to take all our water to the Denver eastern slope area...but California is fighting them.
Scary times for sure.

Definitely scary times with the EPA on the move.
We actually had a state official say on local TV that farmers were going to have to start growing crops that didn't need water.

Yay...I'm in...
Every day brings more regulations.
"Climate Change" is the current bugaboo to justify government's endless encroachments on your freedoms and property.
Joated, you thinking that says a lot then. I shudder to read the stuff going on around the country. No more private property, but we still have to pay the taxes.
Linda, I have learned a lot from you, and it has helped me understand some of the issues. thanks
Jan, last night we elected a farmer to a political post here. The country needs more of that..not just farmers, but people who understand business and enterprise and making money, not just taking it...and "crops that don't need water"!!! What is he figuring on eating? Cactus spines?
Cathy, can you imagine sand being considered a pollutant? Unless somebody dumps it in your engine, it's pretty darned inert. Sure wasn't going to pollute Saginaw Bay from twenty miles away via a drainage tile. Common sense died a long time ago and greed and pompous self-importance stepped up to take its place.
