Regulation of all other waters was, rightly, left to the states. Unhappy with the limited scope of the jurisdiction given to it by Congress, the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers have simply redefined the meaning of “navigable waters” in an extraordinary way, to include virtually every body of water in the nation right down to the smallest of streams, farm ponds and ditches.

Second ringtail captured, released in Idaho
A second elusive ringtail has been captured in south-central Idaho and released back into the wild with a radio collar attached. Biologists hope to use the information they obtain to find out if ringtails are migrating to Idaho from the south or if there’s a resident population that’s good at going undetected. Ringtails, which have distinctive black- and white-ringed tails, are smaller than a house cat with bodies that are mostly brown with white undersides. The nocturnal carnivores are members of the raccoon family and typically eat rodents, birds, berries and insects. They tend to inhabit the rocky deserts of the Southwest and Mexico.
