Just wait until the courts or congress demand the epa turn over documents related to this incident. Hmmmm. Hard drives erased, docs shredded by “mistake”, participants on assignment out of the country, blah, blah, blah.... We should be used to the routine by now. The epa may have been important at one time and in a limited capacity may be now but seems they cause more problems than they solve.
P.S. Dodged an epa bullet yesterday when the puddles in my yard dried up before anyone could report the new navigable waterways.
Just wait for the new rules that will require you to maintain each puddle in its original state after the historic boundaries are mapped and verified by a government committee.
