I should have quit you, a long time ago; wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on the killing floor.

Grants Pass, Ore. (AP) -- A federal appeals court has reaffirmed that muddy water running off logging roads after rainstorms is pollution that requires a special permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Wait until I get back into goofy... I am way too close to the capitol of goofiest until friday....
Yeah, I can’t find my asteroid remote, so you are safe. :-)
Well, the fall of the Roman Empire taught the same lesson 2,000 years ago, and we appear not to have learned anything from that. (Actually, the Founders did, but modern America has long since lost that knowledge).

***This means the Mississippi River is by far the largest source of pollution of the Gulf of Mexico.***
And the Colorado river was not called that because it was clear! I swam in the muddy Colorado outside Moab UT as a child!
***All across the fruited plain, there are literally hundreds of aptly-named Muddy Rivers, Muddy Creeks and Muddy Lakes. ***
Not to mention the the Canadian River in NM. I’ve never seen it anything but muddy brown.
I remember the pioneers said of one river,
“too muddy to drink, too wet to plow.”
So now the EPA claims ultimate authority over suspended load. This will negatively impact any human activity that results in soil disturbance including the mining, agricultural, construction industries to name just a few. The day is coming were we will all need to file an EIS just to breathe.
“too muddy to drink, too wet to plow.”
LOL! here is one about the Missouri River...
Too thick to drink, too thin to plow.
As you're probably aware, one of the theories behind the fall of Rome had to do with the unwitting ingestion of lead and other heavy metals from their plumbing that contributed to the madness of their leadership. As far as I can tell, we don't have that excuse :-)
There's not a river between Albuquerque and Tulsa, or between Minot and Laredo that isn't "muddy".
I demand an investigation and prosecution of the appropriate party.
Drove thru Moab last Fall. Spectacular location.
I live in Maryland. Around here they would have to dig a basin to hold the runoff and they would have to line the roads with black plastic to catch and direct the runoff to the catch basin.
Everywhere you go here there are little catch basins to catch runoff, and of course those little ponds have to have a fence around them to keep the kiddies out, and a rock strewn overflow.Every parking lot has a pond or catch basin.
You cannot build a home without first lining the boundaries and the proposed driveway with plastic.
Better shut down all the roads in Riverside County.
They all are a muddy mess after it rains including the 91 and the I-10.

WOW, they are dumb as Bill Maher!
“certitude… the hallmark of unbright people”
-Bill Maher (ironically deems himself the unbrightest of the unbright)
Beat me too it! EPA is out of control!
Anyone near the muddy Mississippi River is in trouble, too.
Well, they are certainly locking down exhalation (CO2).
