Congress declares Swan Creek in Toledo, Ohio not a navigable waterway. This removes it from federal waterway protection laws. Congress also lets local authorities fill in the creek.

Swan Creek is a stream that runs through the city of Toledo, Ohio. This section declares that Swan Creek is not a "navigable waterway of the United States." That label matters because it takes the creek outside the laws Congress passed to preserve and protect navigable waterways. Because the creek is no longer treated as a protected navigable waterway, this section also gives Congress's consent for local authorities to fill in the creek.
