Hopefully that does not mean another black plastic bag on a stick. How do you keep a creek from spilling over into itself?
As of today such violations still come under the enforcement powers of the federal and state agencies. As of January one, the town becomes the enforcer.
That gives the developers in Lancaster good reason to open that extra bottle of bubbly on New Years Eve. This town can't enforce the simple moving of objects from a corner market (after a judge's order*) and they're going to enforce wetland and stormwater violations? I'm sure the Town Attorney has already come up with some new lame excuses to scream repeatedy at concerned residents.
Crap, I said concerned.
Three demerits for me and a timeout for 24 hours.

*Perhaps after Mr. Montour's coronation, he can enforce the judge's order on Aurora Markets. He's certainly up to speed on the history of the case.
