I have an existing pond and plan to build another. I simply can not afford to get into a situation where I have to spend $10 grand, put up with the heartache, and still have the risk never getting a permit. I am too old to put up with the crap you have been through.
I am truly thankful for this series as now I am certain that someday there will suddenly be another pond appear on the "Big Brother" spy pictures and there will not be one single call or visit to the "responsible parties". It is a simple risk / gain / punishment analysis.
I kindly ask you to write and submit an article on your experience with the permitting process to Pond Boss. It would be interesting to see the nightmare in print and may serve to embarress the Core. It would also serve as another method to get the attention of those in power. I would love to send a copy of Pond Boss to my legislatures. Perhaps they would get hooked and be more supportive of land owners.
