Thanks Andy, will be interesting following this one.

At the Broadhead river in the Poconos this year some guy posted land he didn't own.

From GST thread.


DEP Enforcement called me finally, and they are headed out there today. Mendham Twp. has cited this landowner with several violations, and those may or may not be involved in the pictures I put up here. Apparently he is also working on the house and the overall property, and likely without the proper permits (or any permits). The fill in the stream is a 401 violation under the Clean Water Act and can carry fines up to $50,000/day once they come down on him later today. It also turns out that he made a DEP complaint a month ago that his pond on the property he had just purchased "was too low" and he told DEP what he wanted to do. He was told much of what he wanted to do was not allowable, and he went over the head of the woman in Enforcement that he initially spoke with and had "a heated argument" with her supervisor later about the same issues. So he has ZERO chance of claiming he didn't know he was violating laws since he was clearly told he could not do what he eventually went ahead and did. The very same people in DEP Enforcement are now assigned to his case......
