[quote=Blogstar][quote=FlyerInHi]sounds to me you’re making too much of the EPA thing…
I know of some people having to deal with Fish and Game over a creek… That’s because people call them and make a stink.
Unless you received any orders from them, ignore them; and proceed with what you need to do. They probably won’t ever follow up unless you keep on calling them.[/quote]
Unfortunately we’re past that. They are acting like code enforcement. The funny thing though, If I can’t run them off the troublemaking neighbor who claimed it was a wetland, and another one who wasn’t as bad but still a jerkette, have the bigger problem. They both have already disturbed it . I’ll get my permit eventually. At least the harassing neighbor is being dealt with.[/quote]
Young woman who was working on the survey that I was trying to discourage doesn’t email back. She gave me a date that she needed to extend the survey to ,which passed last Friday. I asked her if she’s reached a conclusion by the extended promise date, nothing.
Some possibilities , They just quit cause there isn’t that much effectiveness going on anyway.
They dropped it but don’t want to expose themselves more to the waste ,or potential fraud like aspects , involved in getting up to the point where they dropped it. Lady has been ordered to put nothing else in writing or acknowledge my comments.
They are just mad and embarrassed to be beaten by the lay person.
They are doing the survey no matter how stupid and how long it takes and are ignoring my contributions since I am no longer a facilitator. ( maybe trouble making neighbor is working with them)
My choices, Ignore and proceed, or try to validate if they are working on it or not. To proceed I make myself a little vulnerable because I have to rent expensive equipment and order large deliveries by trucks. I could in theory be told to undo my work and revegetate etc.
…or call them and risk getting something turned back on that they were in the process of forgetting about.
Once I get started, I am going to finish my work with equipment and trucks and fight it out afterwards with any party that wants to fight. IN court if it’s the neighbor, probably out of court if it’s the GOV. Maybe get a better result in the long run, even if we do fight. Pretty certain nobody can, or will, stop me midstream of the job.
That’s the way big builders like the current Casino builder in Jamul often go at it. I have done it before on small scales like this and came out unscathed.
Other than my neighbor shooting me there is no outcome I can’t live with.
