Sounds like part of your property is a wetland. Please check with a
lawyer,
since damaging a wetland -- even on your own property -- is a violation
of
federal law.

Aren't constitutional rights wonderful?

seriously? lets relax with federal law. its his freaking yard.

I have an area of state wetlands on my property so I know a little
something on this matter as I have done much research.
In this case I doubt federal wetlands law applies but it may fall
under state and/or county wetlands law... also there does exist
riparian rights so I would suggest querying the town and/or county
before making any alterations because such situations often fall
under wildlife rulings.... it may be illegal to obstruct wildlife from
access to natural water phenomenae or even to do planting or disturb
vegetation within a certain distance.

And do it fast, because it's only been 20 years since the problem was
reported!

Consider:
* Most state mandate that drivers have liability insurance.
* Employers are mandated to have worker's compensation insurance.
* If you live in a flood zone, flood insurance is mandatory.
* If your home has a mortgage, fire insurance is mandatory.

Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad??

Old message brings up good point. EPA originally was chartered to
protect purity of navigable water ways. They extended their authority
to include anything one of their people walked to and got their feet
wet. Clear example of government over reach.
