The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 to address legitimate concerns regarding pollution and contaminants that were potentially dangerous and needed to be managed.
Since then, however, it has become a rogue federal agency of some 18,000 employees issuing unconstitutional mandates and living off of huge, unreasonable fines against businesses and individuals that it targets, and that do not have the means to fight the out-of-control behemoth. The EPA levied a fine against the Wal-Mart Corporation of $110 million for the improper disposal of pesticide products returned to their stores, and the list goes on.
Another story in the news deals with a 77-year old Montana resident who simply wanted to provide watering holes on his property for his horses and to protect his property from fire. The EPA instead has decided to make an example of the senior citizen and to completely destroy his life.

Release HIM
Doesn’t he know the EPA owns all the water? And land!
WHY?? Not cool at all!
More gov over reach, outrageous. I hope this Veteran sues the EPA
Anyone who did what he did where I live would be shot, not arrested. He is stealing water from downstream users. That’s a crime, not an EPA violation. I live on the Trinity River. If I put up a dam, would that be okay? Anyone who defends this man fails to understand that water is a resource for everyone, not just the person whose property it runs through.
The EPA needs to move on when it comes to private property
This is awful! So crazy it is his land!
Make sure Trump knows about this!
Outrageous
It is way past time for the EPA to go. They are bullies and have absolutely no respect for personal property rights. This man did nothing to damage the environment; they need to butt out!
