If you're pouring gasoline or oil into the river = should be illegal
If you're pumping out coal smog = should be illegal

"'Little guy' wins high court fight over property rights

So Mike Sackett wants everyone to believe that the owner of the property, the escrow company, the contractor, and the county new nothing of EPA regulations regarding their land? Please!!!!!
Do you know all of the government regulations that might, or might not, affect your use of your land? Do you have the thousands of dollars required for an environmental lawyer to research which environmental regulations could apply, depending on whether or not an EPA bureaucrat got his balls busted at Hooter's the previous night, and is out to prove his manhood today.
