1Opinion of the Court
EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:
This litigation is the unfortunate result of a standoff between a California farmer who seeks to farm his wetlands more productively and the Army Corps of Engineers which regulates wetland use under the Clean Water Act (“Act”), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1376 (1982 & Supp. I 1984). The Corps succeeded in enjoining dredge and fill activities for which a permit had not been sought. We are asked to construe the Act’s exemptions and review the scope of the preliminary injunction awarded to the government. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we affirm.
