33 U.S.C. § 32Lake George, Mississippi

submitted 104 years ago by ch. 198 to r/title-33-NAVIGATION-AND-NAVIGABLE-WATERS · 54 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress declared that Lake George, in Yazoo County, Mississippi, is not a "navigable water of the United States" under federal water-protection laws. Congress kept the right to change or cancel this declaration later.

This section makes a legal declaration about one specific body of water: Lake George, located in Yazoo County, Mississippi. It says Lake George does not count as a "navigable water of the United States" for purposes of the federal laws that protect and preserve such waters. That means the federal rules protecting navigable waters do not apply to Lake George. Congress also reserved the right to alter, amend, or repeal this section at any time in the future — so this status is not permanent or beyond Congress's control.
