Participant9-10AM , weekends. If I see guest showing up at the neighbor’s place , or getting together in the back yard then I’ll quit and do the work another time and let them enjoy their visit.
ParticipantTint was just an excuse to pull you over and check you out.
ParticipantThe pseudo science myth that addiction is genetic has probably worsened the problem with lack of personal responsibility. It supports a self fulfilling prophesy for something the user is already highly motivated to do for myriad reasons.

ParticipantChicago Transit Authority?
Centro de los Trabajadores Argentinos?
ParticipantI don’t want a president any more.
ParticipantHillary will be the next president unless she gets extremely sick or dies.
ParticipantI don’t know why people would revere these judges. To me they are just like priests interpreting religions and manipulating them to get control for power of one flavor over another. Not so much wisdom and justice etc.
Corporations are people.
Participant[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.
ParticipantJuan Vargas is my Rep, so I imagine he is on the side of the EPA.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Why would you call the corps of engineers unless you received some kind of communication from them? What the neighbor communicated to them is none of your concern.
Whenever possible, work fast and present the situation as a fait accompli.[/quote]
Yeah, I know better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even now, while I am trying to get them to drop their survey , I think it could be better to just go to my work and when they complain tell them I had enough of them and won’t tolerate being singled out for something so weird.
On the other hand it could get pretty interesting if the Senate Subcommittee I mentioned gets interested in looking at this overreach abuse. Very hot topic in Washington and throughout the states right now.
ParticipantTop two posts together read like a mid-life crisis.
ParticipantCease and Decist was successful in getting the heavy debris and fence removed by defendant!
Unfortunately , Army Corps of Engineers is running amuck since I had to call them to investigate neighbors FALSE claim that they had designated the ditch as a wetland. The local office apparently sent the survey up to “headquarters of the Army Corps” and even to the EPA! It is not a wetland but they are apparently going to excess over other things on this totally insignificant ditch. I have contacted everyone from my state assembly member to the House Subcommittee on Water Resources to try to put the beast back in the cage. There are some bills on the table related to this kind of excessive reach by the EPA at this time.
I would try to get Turko involved, but it looks harder to get his attention than that of a congress critter , which is really hard.
ParticipantPerhaps a point of interest?
I and mentioned on a thread that the Army Corps of Engineers was doing a survey on a little drainage ditch on my rural east county easement. It started because a belligerent neighbor claimed it was a vernal pond and put up barriers to protect it. He claimed that the Army Corp of Engineers had designated it a wetland. It’s just a ditch with a manmade berm in it that hold rain water for a little while after it rains. The Amry COrps had never heard of him or this ditch , it was on no register and nothing like it in the county is on any register of any kind of Jurisdiction in the County.
Anyway. ARCE was not big enough for the job of ruling whether this was “Waters of the United States”. Turns out they need to bring the EPA in on it too! I guess they don’t have really important planet , shipping related , or life saving stuff to do?
As I mentioned in the other post on this topic there must be hundreds of thousands if not millions of little erosion features like the one under scrutiny in San Diego County alone. If you put dirt on the low end of these ditches or anywhere along them for that matter at that point there would be standing water at times . Under no other circumstances would water be standing . It would only be running at a trickle during and for a few minutes after a strong rain fall. This is not a farming, manufacturing or place of any kind of business whatsoever that I am talking about.
Does that make them unconstitutional , I don’t know. But it makes them corrupt.
THis is the way these land and resource management groups do corruption the find someone having an obstacle or need that is blocked or can be block and they exploit it, just like the mordida system while they ignore many bigger things that can’t be exploited and meanwhile toxicity in the environment rolls on unchecked,people die, because those thing are not the overriding goal funding and growing the organization is . -
