This article will apply to every golf course pond, retention pond and drainage ditch in the country if there is a pump in it. It might also apply to any small pond, even a koi pond in a dwelling. I just don't think anyone has really read it.
If some AHJ decides an underwater aquifer is a natural body of water it might even apply to a submersible well pump and a sump pump could even get a look (man made body of water in the sump).
I agree that is silly
It certainly will apply to a sewer lift pump the way I see it.
682 scope says "not limited to" in the list of bodies of water covered so it is really up to the AHJ. These things usually lay around in the code unnoticed until the road warriors start pitching their opinions in the seminars.
