The EPA plans to expand its mandate far beyond regulation of "navigable waters" next month. If they get their way, those of us building ponds on what we thought was our property may get a very unpleasant surprise one day.
Who are we to change the ecosystem by building a dam? What gives us the right to feed fish, don't we know this practice may pollute the water? What do you mean by using chemicals to reduce weeds, or introducing non-native species like tilapia?
Pondmeisters, this is very serious. I intend to contact my Senator and Congressman about this matter. Hope you will research it yourselves and take action.
