Some of you may have seen this already (from 10 years ago), but it is still funny to read. This is a true story and these are the actual letters sent by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to a resident, and his reply. Enjoy!

Snopes confirms that this is a true story (I had my doubts :rolleyes: after getting a good laugh). If you want some more info/background on this, it can be found here.

I just forwarded this on to a friend who is being persecuted by the Colorado Dept. of Health for controlling erosion on his property with clean fill.

Thanks.

Dam funny! Even living in Michigan, I had not heard of this one. Guess the state wanted to keep the fact quiet that someone didn't do all their dam homework first. :biggrin: :jump:

Well, there are dam fools in every state government agency, aren't there? I've met a few here in MN.
