Someone should start that list. I will go first:
City and County wastewater management
And this right here is exactly what is wrong with America. It doesn't matter if a majority of people like a certain federal agency. America was founded on rule of law, codified in the constitution, and is a republic, not a democracy. If it's not in the constitution, the federal government can't do it until it gets put in the constitution. It matters not if a majority of people like it.

And then your example is is a local government issue. Just because we don't like the federal government doing something doesn't mean we don't want it done.
