we went from fighting pollution to draconian controls..

and any attempt to rein them in gets the left shouting about how we want to pollute ..

The a$$hats at the EPA couldn't find their a$$es with both hands, let alone know or tell the difference between a dam & a stock pond.

I'm an anti- EPA person-- but I would like to know the details behind how this came to be and then became such a big issue....

The first that raises questions in my mind is :

All Andy Johnson wanted to do was build a stock pond on his sprawling eight-acre Wyoming farm

Can't be providing water for many livestock/horses- as most of the Wyoming I know takes 20-200 acres a year to run one cow and calf/horse....
The government says he violated the Clean Water Act by building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. Further, the EPA claims that material from his pond is being discharged into other waterways. Johnson says he built a stock pond -- a man-made pond meant to attract wildlife -- which is exempt from Clean Water Act regulations.

Was this a water rights issue? Most States have water rights filed on every creek- and did this get blowed out of sight because someone downstream with the legal water rights complained :???:

I may be wrong on all sides- but often (especially with FOX News) there is much more or another side to the story... As Paul Harvey would say- I'd like to hear the rest of the story....
