This law says the federal review rules for wharves and piers don't apply to a body of water that sits entirely inside one state, if that water only counts as navigable because it was historically used for trade between states.

The review and approval rules for wharves and piers in waters of the United States, set out in sections 403 and 565 of this title, do not apply to a body of water that lies entirely within one state, when that water is, or could be, treated as a navigable body of water of the United States only because it was historically used in interstate commerce.
