Seems like a local lake association has spear headed an action that is bound to flood private property, in the interest of conservation and at the expense of a landowner.
There is a small channel that runs from a lake into another lake lower in elevation. For over a hundred years, the level of the upper lake has been constant with an established small gate dam at the end of the upper lake. Any excess water has flowed over the gate and the level prevents flooding.
Where this small channel flows into the lower lake, is a large mud flat, and I mean large. The "geniuses" of the lower lake association in their wisdom
decided that the drain channel should be filled with large diameter rock to encourage pickerel spawning. There are no pickerel in the upstream lake, and the mud flat effectively precludes the entry from the lower lake of pickerel to spawn. Were that possible, some would surely have found their way into the upper lake and there would be pickerel in that body.
The level after the next two days will then be affected by whatever height these moreons raise the channel bed and we will see after the first heavy rain if the upstream property of the landowners floods.
These idiots tried to accomplish this last year but I informed the Quinte Conservation people and they are of course responsible for issues of flooding and had NOT been approached for the necessary permits they issue, by the MOE or the MNR.
I notified them last night by email of this event that they again, may not be aware of and also stated that any agency responsible will be held accountable for property value loss differentials between flooded and previously usable land.
The landowner who is monitoring this for me told me that he was informed we can do nothing about the situation and police protection for the workers will be provided.
Sounds like the domineering matrix of the MOE at it again.
I am approaching this from a cause/effect perspective. We have pictures and the record of history over a hundred years that things worked without any meddling screw ups of fascists and pictures will be taken today, and tomorrow until the completion of this idiotic project and then we will wait for the fall rains. Any flooding will result in an action against the agencies and a case presented that in essence and strength will indict the agencies involved. Damages will be sought after the fact.
If the clowns of the lake association had a brain, they would first clear the mudflat. The installation of stones will be of no effect anyway as pickerel cannot reach the channel due to that barrier.
This goes to prove yet again of the stupidity and fascist bent of agencies who do not have the sense God gave a billygoat. Life is so exciting and the MOE so predictable, but what do you expect from a bunch of damned moreons who violated their own regs in issuing Horton Township a permit to construct two ten thousand gallon holding tanks 250 feet from a watersource.
Such stupdity and incompetence can be expected from an organization that has a director who reportedy has NO background in environmental concerns and in fact, came from another totally unrelated agency.
The people need to be informed of such examples of incompetency and the poor return on their tax dollars for employment of such minions who do more damage than they mitigate.
Stay tuned for this one.
...and winning.
