Hey, wait a minute. Are you Back2Basics?
I just was notified that I have to have a permit with the TCEQ ( Texas Commission on Environmental quality) that costs $100 a year for ing rainwater to run off my property. Basically talking about buildings and parking lots...NO pollution at all. NONE...Not only that, I have to MONITOR the ing runoff, pay to have water sampling done, and fill out reams of ing paperwork every year. . I ing hate big government.
Hey, wait a minute. Are you Back2Basics?
are you over the recharge zone?
By 'big government' I'm guessing you mean your local government and since you're not polluting it seems you're suggesting that the regulatory agency, which monitors such pollution, has no purpose; nevermind the fact that there are probably a great number of land owners who do contaminate their runoff. Suck it up and pay the ing minute fee. You don't want to? Move to Mexico and drink dirty water.
*reading*
I have to have a ing rain gauge and keep a ing log of all rainfall. !
calm down cowboy......and leave the cessna in the hanger.
Bull . Whatever happened to common sense? ZERO ing pollution originates from my property. They are more than welcome to inspect my property and verify that. Why THE should I have to write a ing compliance manual, monitor and log the ing rainfall at my property, PAY for ing water testing, submit ing quarterly reports and then PAY THEM ONE HUNDRED ING DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING TO DO ALL THIS BULL ?
You have trucks parking in your lot CC? drip off those trucks? Welcome to the "real" world.
Try having a UST on your place. How about the freaking contraption we "had" to buy to grind up fluorescent bulbs because they're so much better for the environment except for the freaking cancer causing mercury vapor in them so you can't throw them away when they give out and have to freaking manifest the waste?
If you're gonna have to cough up the dough anyways then jump in with both feet and start polluting like a mother er. I'm sure you can get some mercury and DDT on ebay.
I guess it's back to being number 2.
I know exactly what you mean.
I pulled my UST's over 10 years ago. I park my trucks inside a building when they aren't out on jobs. but yeah, there are customers and employee trucks parked outside but they are all dripping somewhere 24/7 so wheres the common sense in picking on THIS parking lot.
It's got nothing to do with actually reducing pollution and everything to do with building bigger government and sucking new fees out of taxpayers.
it's because of the concentration ac ulated from the lot. i have to do the same thing at the factory and on commercial lots.
oh....and they're looking for money.
How come you don't have to have a monitoring well for your old UST's and we do? , some of ours were pulled 20+ years ago.
I am so calling someone.....
It's a parking lot.
They are cars.
Tha'ts where cars park.
What good does it do to "monitor" the runoff?
I pulled mine and went through the complete dirt sampling routine and got a clean bill of health.
Wait, what? Me and my friends at work bust those things whenever we get a chance
to make a case for penalties and fines.
you need to take the opposite approach and use honey.
Not necessarily always about pollution. They also need your money for construction and maintenance of the storm drains.
Trust me, I'm not being an asshole to them. I know it's all about the fee and the paperwork. It just pisses me off.
This fee goes straight to the state. They aren't building any storm drains with it. That's what my $20,000 a ing year in property taxes is supposed to pay for. Not to mention the ing $68.44 EVERY ING MONTH for the "Federal Stormwater Fee". My actual water use last month was $11.43 and my SAWS bill was $90.10 after fees. !

IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
Seriously, you didn't know this? You are supposed to take the ones that fizzle out to a CFL recycling place (there are boxes at lowes and Home Depot as well as other places where you can drop them off and they take them to be recycled). If you break a CFL, there is a whole procedure to follow when cleaning them up. Basically it involves opening as many windows in the room as possible, very quickly and turning on a fan or something to circulate the room's air. Then closing the doors as you leave the room. Come back 20 mins later and clean the glass. (this isn't the exact process, but something like it).
