>>386858 Correct to my understanding. Authorities can estimate where wetlands may exist, but they need actual in-person surveys to enforce.

Way some states get around this is to force citizens to pay for surveys themselves if they want to do anything in those areas, including digging a 3 foot long ditch.

>>387126 Yes. May know the state in which you refer, though there are a few. POTUS certainly knows about at least one of those.

The Endangered Species Act is a giant clusterfk as well. Possible jail time for "disturbing habitats", including driving an ATV or farm vehicle on anything they may deem as "habitat".

If you look at the habitat for "bog turtles" for example, you'll see that basically means anything within 300 feet of a stream bed + vernal pool areas + more.
