Want to bankrupt a home or business owner? Let government create silly regulations that cost a bundle and do no good.
"The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has taken a monumental step backwards in their efforts to control pollution from rain water in Ventura County. Using a public policy strategy discarded by other public agencies decades ago, the Water Board has opted for a program that will require virtually every new property owner to become responsible for large pollution pits that will be constructed in the yards of every new home. We cannot afford to have this policy extend to Los Angeles County when they renew our Storm Sewer Permit next year."
Thanks to government, is you own a home you will be forced to put a poison pit in your backyard, no kidding.
"By adopting a policy that requires that all rain water be captured by all new development and that it be done on each parcel, rather that at larger regional facilities, we can expect to see every new home constructed with a pit at least six feet square and six feet deep. That is the size necessary to capture the expected rain water from a typical storm in Ventura County. Commercial projects will require even larger pits. A ten acre site will require a hole the size of an Olympic swimming pool.
Every storm will send soil, leaves, fertilizer, weed killer, doggie droppings, trash, copper from vehicle brake linings, bacteria and other debris into this six foot deep cavern in everyone’s driveway. The environmentalists applaud this solution by insisting that this rain water will infiltrate into the ground and recharge the groundwater aquifer. That assumes of course that the homeowner keeps the pit clean at all times and the water is not leaching through a poison soup of pollution collected from storms over a period of several years."
Who thought that government will demand you have a poison pit in your backyard. This is for new homes--but in a while old homes will be forced to do the same.
Poison anyone? This will come to your county, soon.
