"President Obama’s administration on Wednesday claimed dominion over all of America’s streams, creeks, rills, ditches, brooks, rivulets, burns, tributaries, criks, wetlands — perhaps even puddles — in a sweeping move to assert unilateral federal authority.

The Environmental Protection Agency, along with the Army Corps of Engineers, says it has the authority to control all waterways within the United States — and will exercise that authority."

Gary Harrington has collected nearly 13 million gallons of water in his reservoirs (one of which is pictured below). That's enough to fill 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. But two weeks ago, he was found guilty of breaking the 1925 Oregon law against private water collection. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and issued a $1,500 fine.

Oregon's Water Resources Department said that though it is legal to set up rainwater collection barrels on roofs or other artificial surfaces, Harrington's reservoirs go way beyond that and required permits.


That one seems to be more of a permit dispute to make ponds on his property.  And it's at the state level.

Though it makes one wonder what the issue is at the state level that would demand he not have ponds.

Most states have laws on the books about how many acre feet of water you can collect.

It's not because collection of water, but because of the danger down stream if your holding facilities break down.  I was in charge of the dams at my community I live in (we have 3, including one registered dam) - we had to register and maintain our dam and response plan in case of failure. That was because of the road way and houses down stream, if it were to collapse.

20 acres of water, is a lot of fucking water and can do a substantial amount of damage.

This would be the reason why last week WY made it illegal for private citizens (read: eco activists) to go and do data collection (read: fabricating pollution evidence) on lands they don't have permission to research so they can't go drag landowners or land users into court and have the EPA crush them.

That makes a lot of sense - I figured something along similar lines.  But in that story in question they gave him permits, then revoked them and have apparently been fighting with him in court for 10 years.  If it's a safety issue, one would think (well, hope) it wouldn't take 10 years to correct.

The U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty Threatens Our National Sovereignty

"The latest threat to U.S. sovereignty is the United Nations’ Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) that is being pushed by the Obama administration. LOST rises from the dead every few years. For more than thirty years, the United States has refused to become a party to LOST for good reasons. But this could be the year that the United States surrenders its sovereignty over the seas to an international body if Obama gets his way.

Under this treaty, the U.N. would have control over 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. This would be a huge step towards global governance. The Senate may vote to ratify the sea treaty as early as next week. President Ronald Reagan rejected LOST back in 1982, stating it would grant the U.N. the power to tax U.S. companies and redistribute wealth from developed to undeveloped nations."
