Amish people to be evicted because they refuse to advance

They actually offered to pay the permit fees but not pull a permit to make good with the county.

 

It is a rental property, most counties have strict codes and rules for rental property. Prevents even rural slum lords. Let's not forget this article was written with a bias and an agenda.

 

no, as stated above

as soon as what they do or don't do affect other properties, then I have a problem with it

 

I would think with population dispersion rates in the rural areas you would find more issues with agriculture run off effecting "you" than you would with a family of Amish people not having a septic tank. It's no longer about what is right or wrong, it's about following the rules.

 

Dozens of families in one county dumping raw sewage is wrong. Rule or no rule. There are very strict rules for agriculture run-off for crop fields and feed-lots. For good reason. It is about what is right or wrong.

 

Zoning Laws are generally followed by Amish communities. On the property were I hunt, the ordinance says you must have a septic system - so my Amish buddy has an outhouse that sits on a large concrete septic tank. When it gets almost full, he contacts the local 'pumper dude' - has it pumped out and hauled away (where it goes, I have no idea).

 

Pumpers haul to a waste sewage disposal plant and pay a fee. No hauler would want to get caught doing anything other.

 

I thought they used their waste to fertilize their fields. Mother nature what goes around comes around?

 

Most of the Midwest watersheds are in poor shape. Strict "Ag" rules are being followed. Right or wrong?

 

That's what they do around here.

Thanks Fletch... I really had no idea where they actually took it. :blush:

 

I could copy and paste about everything Fletch said and say yep, so no need to repeat it.

I will say good, they should haveta follow the same rules as everyone else, and is has nothing to do with religion. We have a decent sized community that moved in around me and they aren't all they're cracked up to be. Actually most are in the process of leaving, so won't haveta deal with it much longer. Let's just say they're not all great craftsman and well mannered.

 

Only if you have a unicorn...

 

I know my ****.

 

Ya right !! Maybe in your neck of the woods... they don't around here. They aren't dumping it in water or a drainage area but it isn't being hauled to a waste sewage disposal plant either.

Then report them.

 

There are areas of the country that allow septic pumpers to apply the pumped liquid to land. Not just any land.

 

I had no idea. In my opinion, there is no way that should even be considered. In our area, even the spreading of animal waste is very tightly regulated. The fines for non-compliance are steep.

 

My wifes uncle has had a septic service company for years he has 40 acres that he is allowed to thin spread the tank contents. He can not allow hunting on the land. This is in Central Minnesota.

 

Have you seen MonsterRax's thread on peeing in scrapes? Is this acceptable?
