[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1833184, member: 40587"] Just curious, why would you want to to tear it down and reduce the water levels? I would think that with al the drought in recent years in Texas, you would want al the water you can get? Several years ago, Scott and I decided to damn up our creek to create a pond. We had run the dozer one day, and some Karen called the EPA, or some agency, and they came out with a cease and desist order. They gave us all kinds of specs and plans and requirements for all kind of things we had to have put in it. Even threatened to fine us or prosecute us. It was a mess. Doing what all they wanted would have cost us a fortune. But thank God, beavers moved in last year, and built a damn almost exactly where we had wanted one, and it didn't cost a dime. And the EPA couldn't do a thing about it! :) And as a bonus, we have some pretty good duck and geese shoots there. now. [/QUOTE]
