"Navigable waters" = Vùng nước tàu bè có thể đi lại được.
Ví dụ
Beaufort (cấp độ, tốc độ gió) commissioners Monday evening approved amendments (sự cải thiện, hiệu chỉnh) to ordinances (sắc lệnh, quy định) governing the town’s navigable waters, but also opted to seek additional guidance to refine (tinh lọc, cải tiến) them in the future.
“A 77-year-old United States Navy veteran (cựu chiến binh) was imprisoned (bỏ tù, tống giam) and ordered to pay $130,000 after the EPA — under the Clean Water Act — declared several small ponds the veteran created to fight wildfires as federally protected navigable waters,” administration officials (cơ quan quản lý) said in the fact sheet, which said the case is an example of agencies “threatening families and businesses with unfair and unexpected penalties (hình phạt).”
Upon enactment (sự ban hành) of the CWA, federal agencies charged with its enforcement (sự bắt buộc) saw the law as covering discharges in the “navigable waters of the United States,” which on the face of it sounds like any water that can hold a boat. The reality is more complicated. The CWA itself, in fact, defines navigable waters as “waters of the United States,” which sounds like all water everywhere under U.S. jurisdiction (quyền lực pháp lý, phạm vi quyền hạn).
