Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Who will own our ponds if the EPA gets its way?

To be honest, I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't want this conversation to turn ugly, or jump off into clean energy, climate change, religion, or any other non-pond related topic. I do feel that some of the answers to my question about property rights and ponds did an admirable job of making the point I was trying to get across - that being the apparent need to find the loopholes, in order to avoid doing what they do not want to do, whether it be the right thing to do or not.

Define noise? Define music? Really? This is exactly the behavior I have been talking about, and the reason there exists reams of paper to try and define what SHOULD be obvious to all of us. What's wrong with common sense? If it's late at night, do I need to make sure the punctuation is correct in the noise ordinance, or can I simply consider my neighbor's interest once in awhile instead of just my own? Doesn't sound that hard to me?

If my pond drains down and eventually enters John Monroe's pond, then do I still have the right to apply fluridone in my own BOW? John enjoys his aquatic plants...my goals are 180 degrees different. Chances are, it wouldn't cause a problem. But, I cannot rule it out entirely, so I do not apply the Sonar. I don't need a law, whether it be county, state, or federal, to side with me in this case. I will err on the side of being a good neighbor, and a good steward of the water that we all share. Unfortunately, it appears that there are some who do not feel the same way. And that is there right, and I will respect it even if I do not agree with it. I will however, point out that in my opinion, that mindset is a primary reason we have to have all of these laws in the first place. I posted last night about which came first...governmental regulation, or a society that proves such oversight is not needed??

That's what it's about to me...like it or not, we share this stuff.
