This law says Bayou Cocodrie in Louisiana is not a "navigable water." That covers the bayou from its source to where it meets Bayou Chicot. Congress keeps the right to change or repeal this section.
This section covers Bayou Cocodrie in Louisiana, from where it starts to where it joins Bayou Chicot. It declares that this stretch is not a "navigable water of the United States," as that term is used in the laws Congress enacted to preserve and protect such waters. This means those water-protection laws do not apply to this part of the bayou. Congress expressly reserves the right to alter, amend, or repeal this section later.
Bayou Cocodrie, from its source to its junction with Bayou Chicot, in the State of Louisiana, is declared to be not a navigable water of the United States within the meaning of the laws enacted by the Congress for the preservation and protection of such waters.
The right to alter, amend, or repeal this section is expressly reserved.
