“Shortly after Mr. Lathrop built his lake, the Army Corps of Engineers determined that the dump he had put the lake on was a ‘wetland’ according to the Clean Water Act and referred him to the EPA for prosecution.  When Mr. Lathrop met with the EPA to talk about his lake, they determined that he must expand a lake on an adjacent farm. In order to do so Mr. Lathrop had to apply for a permit from the Corp.  That cost him another $200,000 and, despite the Corp lifting their order against him, he has still never received the permit. It’s been 15 years.  This decades-long fight has cost Mr. Lathrop $300,000. It has left him and his family on the brink of bankruptcy.”
