Rand Paul property rights legislation
This concerns the EPA's agenda to rewrite Federal law giving itself land use controls over virtually everywhere in the name of "navigable waters".
"This week, I reintroduced the Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2015. https://www.paul.senate.gov/imo/media/do... This legislation will bring common sense back to federal water policy by redefining 'navigable waters,' exclude ephemeral or intermittent streams from federal jurisdiction, and restrain the powers that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers hold over American landowners."
"Every year, thousands of property owners across America fall victim to the EPA and Army Corps of Engineer's bullying tactics. Strike I firmly believe it is the landowners' Constitutional rights to do what they please with their own property. The time has come to bring common sense back to the federal jurisdiction over navigable waters and place necessary limitations on out-of-control government agencies."

I confirm the above link works- I had to click to say ok to by-pass security warning, i take that chance as my system is non-microsoft.
Seems to me that Rand Paul is winding back a misinterpretation of an Act by introducing another Act.
