9th Circuit Sez Run Off from Logging Roads Pollution
2010-08-19
A federal appeals court has decided that mud washing off logging roads is pollution and ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to write regulations to reduce the amount that reaches salmon streams.
And this makes the nation more competitive precisely how?
A flaming liberal progressive socialist conservation group that filed the lawsuit says if the ruling Tuesday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stands, logging roads on federal, state and private lands across the West will eventually have to be upgraded.
You realize, of course, that all of the nation that's not built on sand is built on dirt? Who's gonna clean all that up?
Would that be a 'green' job ...
The Northwest Environmental Defense Center in Portland sued the Oregon Department of Forestry over sediment washing off two logging roads on the Tillamook State Forest in northwestern Oregon.

#7  The State of Oregon has one of the most dangerous assemblies of devoted eco-nuts in its Department of Environmental Quality.

We have no common sense in Oregon. We have "uncommon sense." And proud of it.

Mud at a construction site.

Fine them.

#6  Welcome to the Nudge Society folks. You know how all those stupid and greedy people are stopping us smart and caring people from saving the earth? YeahÂ…wellÂ…we got it covered. In fact you wonÂ’t have to lift a finger. And the beauty part is we donÂ’t need any of that pesky law making and voting stuff. And once we get a court to decide in our favorÂ…well thatÂ’s called precedent. DonÂ’t worry if you donÂ’t know what that means. LetÂ’s just sayÂ…they ainÂ’t slowin our roll. Are ya feelin me home chopper? So go ahead, relaxÂ…kick yer shoes offÂ…set a spell. You wonÂ’t feel a thing.

#2  9th Circuit sez, "All rivers must now be covered with fluffy unicorn pelts. With smiley faces painted on them with environmentally safe paint."

What's next?
