No problem and am glad to clarify.  Better have lots of strong coffee if you want to read the CWA as it is the usual lawyer crap trying to write a law based on science.  The real key to the CWA (which was passed under Nixon) is the underlying regulations which you can find in the CFRs.  The section that the waters of the state nonsense applied to was 404, which is the permitting portion.  Either way, there is no change to the sections that cover wastewater and stormwater discharges.  Those are pretty well accepted and complied with except in upset circumstances.  Very costly but necessary and the results have been very positive.
