Department of Environmental Protection - A Warning
|
A large West Virginia Developer would not respond to a simple request from an adjoining landowner to clean out a development's drainage ditch line. The local city would not get involved even though
Large Areas of the same Local City and a Federal Highway
were taking massive drainage damages.
The
Department of Environmental Protection was contacted and the DEP agent knew exactly where the location was.
He had
stopped the developer earlier. They were pushing fill
over trees at the head of the valley.
In his own words: "They were going to bring the whole valley down".
The DEP agent stated that laws do not exist that
would allow him to currently intervene. He informed us that
They usually wait until such a time as older
people do not have the resources to fight. .... It's usually a widow in this
position. As such; a documented case is needed so laws could be passed to make sure this does not happen to anyone else in the future. They needed a documented case.
So, I decided to document all for posterity...

Apparently, pushing of earthen fill onto
and over an existing forest Was Not A Good
Idea. So, the DEP Stopped It. |
|
The Party's then switched areas
and repeated the process. (The Basis For This Current Documentary) |
|
A Partnership would return
to the original DEP Halted area in 2005. This time with a fistful of
Tax Payer Dollars. |
