Welcome to Nazi, Nutsy USA where, among the myriad of stupid governmental agencies, we have the EPA!
Our little town was subjected to this Green Goosestepping Nazis a few years back.
They rolled in and declared our sewage system was an extreme environmental hazard and people would die if we did not install an all new system,
This extreme hazard had been operating for over 50 years and just 18 months prior was passed by the EPA, but they changed regulations and rolled in on us. They have never went away.
Around here we know just what E.P.A. stands for.
Ever
Persistent
A-holes
