calmly ranted:

UPDATE: Case closed. I spoke with the investigator today. Seems they
have had quite a few enquiries. Civil penalty around $5000.
Investigator's reason for waiting 2 years before stopping; he thought
he surely had a permit.

The EPA "investigator" should be fined "around $5000" for thinking.
If he had a feeling that something was wrong, waiting several
years to make sure was the absolute worst thing he could have done,
both for the "offender" and for the potential damage to the
environment had he actually been doing something nasty.

BLM stories around here are the same way. sigh
