Isn’t Obala also signing a bunch of baloney exec orders to steal more land for fed gov like Clintoon was doing in the 90’s too...
If you have any water on your property that is not already a legal drain (river, creek, lake, pond, etc.) fill it in. If you do have any of the latter, don’t let beavers, muskrats, or otters to reside in them (you can figure out how to prevent that).
There are liabilities you cannot control anymore. Worse, fighting the EPA is almost impossible.
And Obastard wonders why businesses are leaving the US. What an imbecile.
In many cases (and likely in this instance), EPA and other regulatory bodies will use a real pollution problem as an excuse to adopt regulations that control much broader segments of business and society, including private parties. If there is a pollution problem, say from a pig farm, the states have authority to act under pollution of public waters or something as simple as a public nuisance.
I’ll have to guit peeing in the creek?
AGENDA 21. Herding the people into ‘habitation zones’ while expanding ‘off limits’ zones. Watch for farm bills and other bills which force people out of rural areas and into the suburbs.
The EPA should be disbanded.
This was not their only hare-brained scheme.
They came up with one idiotic scam after another to seize more and more control. I told them that if they didn't leave me alone, I would have to sell the property and that the only people who would buy it were developers who would destroy the old growth forests, animal habitats, fire lanes, and everything.
These "Environmentalists" didn't care. What they want is control--and to be Big Shots. Such people are basically schoolyard bullies.
They didn't leave me alone.
A group of developers offered me 4 times what I paid for the property (after 5 years).
I sold them the property.
They razed the forest. It's now a huge weed patch.
I'm millions of dollars richer.
I wept when they started cutting down the forest.
This is what the "Environmentalists" accomplished.
Needless to say, I have nothing but contempt for these people.
keep. powder. dry.
I can skip a 22 across my pond and hit a piece of baloney on the other side.
Do you have a septic system? Is it maintained to EPA standards or are you guilty of polluting the watershed?
Yes, groundwater will probably be next even if you don’t have so much as a puddle on your property.
Years ago, I kept getting annoyance calls about “septic tank enzymes”. I tried everything to make them stop, then got exasperated enough to try a different tactic.
Next time they called, I answered in a hillbilly voice and had a conversation with the salesman:
Wait; you said septic tank enzymes?
YES! Our special enzy...
Y’all mean they go in a septic tank?
YES! They prev...
We’uns ain’t got one a them fancy things; we jist run a pipe down to the crick.
(dead silence) ...click.
Never called back.
That was then. Now if I did that, the unamused feds would show up with an interagency SWAT team and a dozen warrants.
The feds don’t view it as “your” property. It’s all theirs, you’re just paying rent in the form of taxes and rest assured they will take it back if and when they want to.
