Yes, springs turn into creeks (streams), which flow into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
I don't think that the Clean Water Restoration Act in its current form is a problem yet, because it only extends to "navigable waters".
If the term navigable gets exchanged for "all water anywhere" (except under ground) then even the smallest seep, spring, or water hole would be threatened by oppressive federal government bureaucracies.

I'm keeping my eyes wide open.
Thank you David Merrill.
