>>>Have to be sure to keep my project 150 feet from the river though, or those town code enforcers will pay me a visit!!<<<
Hey, don’t think like a Demo CAN’T think like a Republi CAN -
Ask grandson who designs sewer projects to draw up a quick plan with all the appropriate B.S. - Name the project something like a ‘Phase I Erosion Control Rock Weir Enhancement’. Include some Google Maps even showing terrain elevation details.
Then approach the town council and say that you know that their funding for such projects is limited, and that this reduction in runoff into the river is so important that you have done initial preparations on what was under your control, and just need them to approve the improvements in the 150’ region to enhance the overall effectiveness of the erosion control project. Even throw some ‘estimates’ in that over the next 3 decades, this could reduce the erosion of 30 tons of silt, 2 tons of Nitrates, additional quantities of Phosphates and an undetermined amount of heavy metals from getting into the river or something like that. Tell them that any vegetation that has to be disturbed will be replaced 5 fold with N34 Hybrid Poplars and NZ762 Willows both of which are known for phytoremediation abilities specifically designed for raperian regions. (I’ll send you some free whips to start them - just stick them in the ground and they will grow)
What could they say? No - and you are no worse off than now, but they may say Yes and your project is a go - with their blessing.
raperian = riparian
Sorry, wasn’t awake yet and was thinking about all the green beans I needed to pick... (have now picked two 5 gallon pails full. Now taking a break before snipping and canning)
Your article on Justice Ginsberg has me just shaking my head. How in the world do the Dems get away with all this crap!!!
