“The Army Corps of Engineers has a budget. Talk to them.”
Trump should put The Army Corps of Engineers out of business! They have become just an arm of the EPA. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area they go around designating man-made livestock ponds as “wetlands,” and if the creek behind your home that only has water in it during the winter, connects by any circuitous way to SF Bay, they consider it a “navigable waterway” subject to their jurisdiction. The funny thing is, we’ve never ever even seen a Coast Guard Cutter anchored out in ours at any time of the year!
In the end...I got our project approved....and the boss said I couldn't do it!! Always tickled me.
