The Federal government thinks that they are the rightful owners of everything in Wyoming. We get the whole alphabet mucking around up here: BLM, IRS, NPS, FWS, etc. etc. etc.

We went up against the Wetland folks who were declaring a drainage ditch as a wetland. My boss wrote a report on this "Man Made" drainage ditch.

They finally backed off when they did some soil tests and we added some historical data.

Their new goal seems to be to declare everything that holds water as waterways to be controlled by government.

But, they will find some "new violations" to keep screwing with the guy. They reengaged with Clive Bundy after sitting low for a while -this guy will stick in their craw until they find a way to punish him.
