Massive Land Grab by the government. PROPOSED EXPANSION OF WATER AUTHORITY WOULD EXTEND FEDERAL CONTROL TO VIRTUALLY ALL U.S. LANDS WATERS OF THE U.S. There is a proposal that redefines federal authority over the water--and thus the lands--of the United States. The impact is best illustrated by the maps below. The Clean Water Act authority shown in the first map would be extended to the proposed Clean Water Restoration Act authority shown in the second map; essentially, a takeover of all land in the United States. This proposal has been in the works since at least October, 2006 when the second map was prepared for Rep. Oberstar by the Democratic staff of the Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. We are in the comment period. According to Doyel Shamley, state and federal representatives across the nation were informed of this proposal weeks ago. The deadline for comments is in 3-4 days. You are urged to contact your county, state, and federal representatives to determine what, if anything, they are doing about this.
