All your puddles are belong to us
"While presented as a means to protect drinking water and “hold[ing]
polluters accountable,” the Obama administration’s latest EPA rule, Waters of the United States, is rather more far-reaching than many conservatives like.
"According to the document (full text embedded below), the rule itself
is not intended as regulatory (that probably comes later), but is
instead “a definitional rule that clarifies the scope of the ‘waters of
the United States’ . . . .” Essentially, almost all fresh water,
including that in “water-filled depressions,” is now under the federal
government’s purview and subject to government oversight and regulation."
Politico reports: . . .

Obama’s emphasis is on safety and clean water; the rule, however,
greatly expands the definition of what waters “belong to us all,”
including that on privately-owned property.
