navigable waters

A determination of navigability, once made, applies laterally over the entire surface of the water body, and is not extinguished by later actions or events which impede or destroy navigable capacity.”Property owners wishing to build boat piers or other structures extending into navigable waters must obtain a permit from the Department of the Army.
