So, you think you can prepare your little getaway for the coming doom and gloom days, right? After all, it is your land, so who is to say you can't damn the creek to make a pond, or divert water for irrigation? Why, the EPA, of course.
IF they own that land, what about the adjacent property that allows them to inspect their water?

It has been that way for many years, if the SHTF I think they will have bigger problems than enforcing those regulations.
Oops, it was the state that owned it for many years, EPA is a newer thing.
