It is the EPA's intent to grab more control by totally sidestepping legal activity and removing courts or law from their goal's path.


I think it absolutely should be legal for someone downstream to claim damage. Water isn't static, it moves from place to place and may provide a conduit for whatever is in it to do the same.

However I also think the accused should be provided due process, and not merely accused without proof or merit.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
