Love the way his attorneys imply his victory is a victory for all. I've said all along there was no need to worry, but even I think the EPA folded way too quickly. This wasn't a case of them losing the battle, I think it was a case of them running the program out on a test run. Working the kinks out.
"Stock ponds are exempt".... There wasn't a stock pond there until the guy diverted the creek to build it! Come on now, the EPA couldn't of pressed the issue and won?
The guy wanted a pond in his front yard, period. Stock pond came after the fact.
