There might possibly be a little creek around there but it is one of the driest areas on the North American continent. I suspect calcowgirl has uncovered a legitimate reason for OM LPs grievances. It doesn't look like it started with the BP they may have just gotten sucked into it because they're part of the FedGov.
Save the Faiwy Shwimp!!! Bawney Fwank would want you to.
Evidently the things lay dormant in their ‘egg’ stage for up to ten years. We had them in So. Oregon where it gets over 100 degrees much of the summer. And they were in every puddle around in the spring. We are more endangered than the Fairy Shrimp. Most of this enviro movement is about fund raising and using the ESA to sue people with that little provision that ANY ONE can sue the government on behalf of an endangered species and collect atty fees...which is why you find lawyers running all the enviro groups.
What a racket!
The federal government will have to provide compensation and/or remove the structures. At a minimum, they should have provided the owner's with notice and made sure that is was a matter of public record.
I suspect the “structures” are the sensors in the buried in the ground and sticking up about a foot tall, every X number of yards.
I used to have something like that to keep my dog on our property.
The court has apparently held that the structures weren’t visible enough to create a prescriptive easement. The federal government was sloppy on this one.
Let’s see, some State Supreme Court just ruled that it’s okay for the cops to put a GPS tracker on your car without a warrant, but it’s not okay to put sensors on someone’s land along an international border which is being violated.
Yeah, right.
It looks like the land was acquired in a scummy bank deal where the prez extended credit to himself beyond FDIC limits. The FDIC banned the guy. He moved the land into trusts in the name of his children and his mama in Mexico. While I’m a strong opponent of eminent domain abuse, this looks more like a Jesse Jackson type shakedown.
Even scum have to be given notice when there is a taking of property. The title should have been researched before the property was entered.
