Be careful this thread does not get offensive and away from the goals of this forum. There are other forums to discuss political issues. My input is EPA has their plate overflowing with public water source issues and does not need to add more work overload and enlarge to deal with private waters. However,, if your pond receives stream water and regularly discharges water into public waters (streams) then you as a pond owner do have a responsibility to act in common sense and legal manner to where you are not discharging low or harmful, poor, quality water downstream that could impact the habitat and aquatic community. In these cases your water is not really private unless you can regularly keep it all on your property baring flood or emergency events.
