I believe that's because Congress finally defined "navigable waters" as those involving interstate commerce or being directly connected to such waters with a usable route (rough translation). I believe it's called the "Jones Act" and has been discussed much better on other threads. USCG no longer has authority over waters like the lake due to that. Or so I understand.

Too bad I didn't see this posted last year when I was between jobs. It would have been a long-shot for my skill level but definitly worth an interview!

Good luck to anyone who applies.
