[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 596870, member: 4362"] As long as you continue to miss my entire point of how some of these regulations are having a negative effect on the growth of the small businesses in this country, I agree with you - I won't be able to convince you. I will agree that environmental impact studies are needed in some situations. And I agree that there are some dirt bags out there that do not care about people nor the environment and someone needs to put them in their place and/or shut them down. But if you actually believe environmental impact studies are needed for any and all soil disturbances over one acre of land I think you are wrong. And here, this is the case. Do you actually believe that we need silt fencing around every plowed field in this country? Most people don't know this but regulation was put in affect a few years ago but was removed after much heat from naysayers like myself - but they are still trying. (This BTW would have included my garden. :roll:) And while I'm on the subject of silt fencing. Would your opinion change on its usefulness if you knew what the scientific studies have shown? That 30 feet of grass will stop more silt than any fence and fencing is not necessary if this is done. So why is it required? I can answer that cause I'm good friends with one of the fella's that lobbied for its use to protect their "big business" from going out of business. Now they are moving to Mexico and hundreds will be out of a job but the small businesses that are still in this country have to continue to abide by the pork barrel regulation. Let's use science and common sense. Regulations without these elements are going to kill the small businesses.
