Sec. 329.3  General policies.

    Precise definitions of ``navigable waters of the United States'' or 
``navigability'' are ultimately dependent on judicial interpretation and 
cannot be made conclusively by administrative agencies. However, the 
policies and criteria contained in this regulation are in close 
conformance with the tests used by Federal courts and determinations 
made under this regulation are considered binding in regard to the 
activities of the Corps of Engineers.
