I had one run-in with the EPA. I bought a property of 18 acres, half of which was high and dry. There was an intermittent stream on the north end of the property which had been dammed to create a reservoir in the winter for ice-cutting which made a couple hundred feet of swail even though the dam was breached for years. Also, the railroad came through about that time and altered the drainage. In the 20th century, one state road and one federal were built, further entombing my property and trapping more water. Voila! Suddenly the EPA decreed most of my property to be sacred and forevermore inviolable wetlands, even though their wetness was entirely the product of entirely legal human activity in previous eras. I had intended to retire on that property and run a nice little gentleman’s farm, but once it was designated wetland I couldn’t even dig a ditch or create a driveway through the Joe Pye weed. The ridiculous restrictions the EPA placed on my use of my property reduced the resale value of my property after having made the property useless to me. However, I was in no position to challenge the EPA, not being a politically connected entity within the spiders web of the greenies. My personal recommendation is for congress to eliminate the EPA, firing everyone in it, relinquishing all of its property and assets, and waiting ten years before considering another such green gestapo. And forbidding the new agency from employing anyone who worked for the current EPA.
Add to that, roll back every rule it has ever written.
The EPA isn't the only government agency that needs to go away, but it should be the first one to go away. Getting rid of the EPA and its regulations would do wonders for our economy.
