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.
