Hey guys, We have owned our property for over 26 years, with a three to four acre impoundment that was created by beavers. It was right beside a dirt road with a large culvert. The water would run over the top of the dam, which was about 100 long and shaped like a crescent moon, about 50 feet from the road in the middle. This past week, the county came along and took a backhoe to the end of the dam. This resulted in about a six foot wall of water that has eroded the side of the road, which is about to collapse. From what I have read, this should be considered a protected wetland. Nonetheless, they should have consulted with us before destroying the pond. There goes the wildlife habitat and thousands of catfish and bream that are flopping around in a mudhole. Called the County and the head guy said he would go look at it. I have left messages with EPA on two occasions, and nobody calls back. Called the Game Warden, who said it wasn't something that they could handle.
Does anybody have any ideas on what to do, or any contacts that could offer some insight on our rights?
Sorry for the long post, but I am pretty pissed about it. Thanks for any ideas and help.
