An exempt stock pond does not require a fence to keep out livestock (in fact, that would defeat its purpose), nor does the rancher who constructs a stock pond have to do any improvements to mitigate the damage created by the pond.
If the EPA had a good case they wouldn't have settled
I'm sure his lawyers threw the EPA a bone and said sure we'll plant some trees...
That's what negotiations are all about.
Perhaps the rancher was intending to plant the trees all along to make the pond all the more enjoyable.
Where did you read the trees were planted to mitigate damages?
Where are you getting the rules you are citing regarding stock ponds?
Yeah, I said perhaps.You're sure? Perhaps?
Yeah, I said perhaps.
I don't know and neither do you...
You seemingly have a problem with this rancher and his pond.
Wyoming's stock pond regulations some how offend you.
Perhaps you're just a fan of big government....
We do know the EPA settled their suit and got no money and once the court signs off on the new trees, the EPA will have no say regarding this mans property.
Win for clear thinking and law abiding citizens.
Loss for over intrusive, power hungry, centrally planned federal government...
HRC leading in the polls. I guess when you poll 33% more Democrats in your poll those are the results you should get.
Curious, has anyone ever given themselves a nickname. I know Kobe did, but he's on a different level. It's like creating a thread about yourself, someone else can do it, but you can't. Like bunting to break up a no hitter, one of those unwtitten rules that if you break makes you look like a moron.
Nobody cares about your neighborhood....
It's not me that sicced the EPA on Welder Johnson. If I were to hazard a guess at the risk of being wrong, I would say it was one of his neighbors who were jealous of his creation, or who felt they had a prior appropriation of the water due to the construction and use of irrigation canals downstream.
How 'bout our choices for President?Bitter about something?
You certainly didn't notify the EPA re: the stock pond that this rancher constructed. but you probably would have if you were his neighbor.
The water continues to run down stream, only it's cleaner after having gone through the pond.
Did the Colorado River cease to run at glen canyon or hoover? It also runs cleaner....
The rancher won.
The EPA lost.
Minimum wage:
is it ethical for the state to forcibly price out of jobs some workers (who, not incidentally, will be the least-skilled and most-disadvantaged workers amongst us) in order to artificially boost the incomes of other workers?
You are exactly the kind of person I expected to be suckered in by Trump.
I noticed.I will be wrong again, I am sure. I doubt that Izzy will notice.
Exactly.You are exactly the kind of person I expected to be suckered in by Trump.
Agree. How can the people in government understand what is best?Trump is what happens when people who are not in government think they can tell the government what the people want.
Its an insane proposition.
How can the people understand whats best?
