do you have water on your property?

[bobski]

some govt agencies have asked people to disclose if they had water on their property. many here have read about this and i came to a conclusion after seeing this.
seems the (green) thing wants to know where they can get the next fuel source when its needed for use.
wonder who and what else is going hydrogen power?

They want to know if there is water so they can regulate you off your property. If you have standing water it's a wetland. If you have water flowing into another property you can be considered a polluter for fertilizing your yard.

Splitting water to obtain hydrogen is grossly inefficient. Large volume commercial hydrogen is produced from natural gas. Also, creating a hydrogen powered engine has been played with for at least 35 years to my personal knowledge when I worked for Boeing. There are a lot of problems with it including hydrogen embrittlement of metals.

I don’t think it has a nefarious intent. Current situation in western states that get their water from the Colorado River is serious as the water levels keep dropping and are now reaching an extreme point. If that is a precursor of future decline in water supplies, then knowing where water can be found could become critical information. We could be looking at water shortage in their US in decades to come. In the west it might happen much sooner.

The SCOTUS is reviewing "Waters of the US". Federal regulation of a puddle, stock pond, or drainage ditch on your property is ridiculous.

 

[Hvymax]

Anything the government does is nefarious. In Maryland rainwater is considered toxic and should be contained by any means necessary. (Rain barrels, Cisterns, Drain fields).
Out West you can be arrested for a rain barrel. That's the idea Winston.

I have been informed that my area is in a drought, but my grass is green, ponds are full and wet weather creeks are flowing.

WOTUS is a serious issue. Rural America can't function with total Federal regulation of everything from puddles and runoff ditches to un-navigable seasonal streams.

 

[contender]

It's none of their derned business if I have water on my property or not.

With Google and GPS it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if there is water on just about anywhere. If they should stop by after a hard rain they will find a swamp in the corner of my front yard. If they would like to drain it I would not complain.

Will you complain when they issue an agency order that you must maintain the naturally occurring wetland?

In my area people were drilling deep wells on 10 to 35 acre mountain parcels that far exceeded household use and were more in line with an agg use. Gee I wonder why they would need that much water?

 

[Jeepnik]

Some years back my sewer line needed replacing. Turned out at the edge of my property it was 11.5' down Poor plumbers dug for two days by hand to reach it. Anyway, turned out they were getting water seeping into the ditch. So yea, there's water not too deep. But In urban areas you don't own the water rights. In fact I have no idea who does. Though push come to shove I'd dig a well in the back yard.

 

[Wvfarrier]

We looked at a farm in Montana and water rights were a HUGE part of the realtors disclosure. The owner had dug a 700' deep well (how do you service such a thing) and a couple springs. They substantially raised the overall price of the property

Better get a permit for that well! LOL! It's all about control!

 

[Mobuck]

I have 6 'impoundments' (farm ponds), 2 functional wells, 3 seasonal creeks, and a year round running creek (blue line on the map) on my farm. Under WOTUS, most of these would/could become 'regulated' to some degree including the requirement to allow Federal inspection. Currently, the only 'regulated' watercourse is the 'blueline' creek.

Ding Ding Ding Ding; we have a winner. Hydrogen Embrittlement to steel ( especially some of the aerospace carburizing alloys like Pyroware (Alloy 53 or AMS 6308) 9310, 8620 used in gears and other hardened parts is a very real occurrence and is why such parts MUST be baked at low temps for a given time (hours) after ant contact with hydrogen containing chemicals such as plating (copper, silver, chrome, nickel). Hydrogen being the smallest atom on the periodic table is absorbed into the crystalline lattice of the alloy and, if not driven out by baking within a short time after exposure stay permanently and reacts with other elements in the alloy causing it to get harder and more brittle until it ultimately cracks and fails. I have observed parts that were perfect parts slowly develop cracks and even fracture.
When involved in making compressors for the Natural gas industry, when dealing with what is called Sour Gas they would specify No Yellow Metals ( Fittings to be stainless) and worst case All the fasteners were annealed to start out soft and were removed and replaced at regular intervals as they hardened from hydrogen exposure.

While I am sure that hydrogen as a fuel is possible great care would need to be taken to prevent exposure of certain parts to it.

 

[Conman]

Last year I read that Commiefornia wants people with wells to pay water bills!!

 

[Jeepnik]

Hey, I don’t need a permit to remove plants that have large water needs. And sometimes roots go very deep. It was tree roots that destroyed my sewer line.

 

[ronto]

The left is attacking the family, corrupting our children, attacking religion especially Christians, destroying our free speech rights, turning government agencies like the FBI and DOJ on law abiding citizens, making a mockery out of patriotism, fixing elections, corrupting sports and movies, and now attacking private property rights with this WOTUS power grab. The "big picture" is obvious and they are no longer trying to hide it. They hate you and will destroy you unless you stand up and fight back.

 

[bobski]

how? by voting? lol.

That's up to you.

It's against the law in Colorado. You can sell dope but don't collect any rainwater. Never, ever trust the government,
George Washington warns us over 200 years ago.

 

[bobsyouruncle]

In Colorado a few years ago they had the largest wildfire in U.S. history, as a result 87 thousand heavily wooded acres were burned, the trees now required no water, the fire must have released trillions of gallons of water. It is now legal to collect roof run off.

 

[Hvymax]

So their well doesn't run dry at every water table fluctuation.

 

[bobsyouruncle]

Anyone interested in water could read the book, Cadillac Desert. I was amazed to learn that under the Mojave desert is an aquifer the size of Rhode Island.

Main run right in front of my house.

Read the Johnson vs. EPA case to see just how much authority the Clean Waters and Waters of the US Acts granted the EPA, and how egregiously they abuse it. Long story short, the EPA tried to fine a Wyoming rancher $75,000 a day for creating and maintaining a small stock pond on his property, despite it being designed to benefit wildlife, fish, migratory birds, and clean the water that passed through. He had to fight it in court for years, and his potential fine was over $2 million when the EPA finally agreed to dismiss.

This is why they want to know about water on your property.
