Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that deference to the Corps’s interpretation is appropriate because it is based on a “reasonable construction of the statute”
• deferring to the Corps’s decision to treat a roadside ditch as a navigable water
• CWA jurisdiction extends to those waters adjacent to any branch of a tributary system that eventually flows into a. navigable water, because these waters effect the water quality of navigable waters and thus there is a “substantial nexus” between the tributaries and the navigable waters
