Now I would like to address your EPA comment. I have contacted every branch of Federal and State EPA, what I have been told is they will not challenge a Corp of Engineers decision. The state of Ohio grants the Corp exclusive authority in the decisions on projects. I know, I worked at a government facility and was a member of the Federal Facilities and State of Ohio Partnership for Pollution Prevention, which I would like to add, Ohio EPA was an active member of the partnership. Farmers are reimbursed by the government if a crop is destroyed.
Farmers take the deduction and plant again next year.
My crop is the trees, and it certainly takes more than one year for a tree to mature. I am sad to say that Ohio EPA is not concerned, nor do they even care what is going on in Auglaize County. My legal rights in Auglaize County was even ignored by the court system, because the judge was going to back his county officials, not Barbara Planck. I appealed the decision of the Auglaize County courts in Allen County District Court and received a favorable decision, the lower court was over-ruled, then I was sent right back to Auglaize County. My attorney wanted an outrageous retainer to take the case to Supreme Court, one of the draw backs of being poor, the fight was getting too expensive.
