The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 to address legitimate concerns regarding pollution and contaminants that were potentially dangerous and needed to be managed.
Since then, however, it has become a rogue federal agency of some 18,000 employees issuing unconstitutional mandates and living off of huge, unreasonable fines against businesses and individuals that it targets, and that do not have the means to fight the out-of-control behemoth. The EPA levied a fine against the Wal-Mart Corporation of $110 million for the improper disposal of pesticide products returned to their stores, and the list goes on.
Another story in the news deals with a 77-year old Montana resident who simply wanted to provide watering holes on his property for his horses and to protect his property from fire. The EPA instead has decided to make an example of the senior citizen and to completely destroy his life.

This over extension of government control. His land his pond.
Ridiculous
It’s his property wtf
The swamp needs draining. Not his, the epa. Hopefully the Trump team will handle this.
Say it is a swimming pool and you are a movie star. It will be alright then.
Why
They’ll do that around here too, you have to get the area inspected for any endangered insect then get a permit, then every time you maintain it you go through the same s**t
Here is a veteran that needs a pardon, and an apology. Hope his land and pond are still there. The Environmental Protection Agency gets a little out of hand. I will never forget all the timber jobs lost in the North West because someone said they seen a spotted owl.
Wow
Should have never happened.
