Walt Griffith
The clear intent of this law is to skirt the United States Constitution which does not give the Federal Government the authority to regulate any water beyond "navigable waters" which can only be derived for the commerce clause, which is probably a very weak conclusion.
Pacific Legal Foundation
The Oberstar bill gives new meaning to the term 'BIG GOVERNMENT.' It would put average citizens at the risk of civil and criminal prosecution for ordinary conduct. Filling in an ornamental pond in one's backyard would not be exempt from federal reach under the express terms of the 'Clean Water Restoration Act.'

Water is a limited resource. It's very easy to see what's around the bend. Right now people living in rural areas cannot do anything to their own wells without government intervention. All wells are recorded/location/depth, etc. This data base supplies a ready made list of available wells for the taking. This is an erosion of personal property rights and should be seen as the ultimate red flag. Those who control our water, control our very lives.
