As said in Texas Hold'em, the Sacketts are All In.

from what I’ve read over many years....you just don't want to mess with a Sackett

How is their property any different than their neighbors? It would seem that if all the land was a wet land then even their neighbors would be in violation too.

Yes Sir Mr. EPA, we were roasting wienees on the grill there and then the next thing we knew the whole place went up in flames. Sorry bout yer frogs.

Barnabas Sackett must be rolling over in his fictional grave.

if the “brilliant” EPA officials would make the fines high but realistic, they would be much more of a threat. They can fine me $37,500 from now until the end of time and it would not frighten me a bit...I haven’t $37.50 to my name and their threats would fall on deaf ears. I see that happening often, especially in federal cases, so and so was found guilty, sentenced to 30 years in prison and fined $1,250,000....what’s the point???

In a battle with common sense, EPA has bound regulation, judicial review, due process and bureaucracy into a Gordian knot that desperately needs to be cut.

Cut? Hell, Dissolve it totally.

” The fines in the Sackett case ranged up to $37,500 per day.

The EPA has gone amok. The land cost less than $30,000 for criminy sake.

We bought land in Evergreen, Colorado years ago. When we began building upon it, we were socked with a very hefty "Readiness to Serve" water bill (there was no water readily available on the raw land at the time). Greed takes many forms and the EPA appears to have it down pat.
