Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 190194" data-attributes="member: 389">[ATTACH=full]17617[/ATTACH]Without setting foot on the ground, I think this is the "...some of the best soil in Burleigh County" referenced in the article.  I wonder what that white stuff is in the pic?Note, I would suggest that not only is this area pre-disposed to shallow groundwater issues, but there is another landowner NW of this that owns a stock dam.  That stock dam creates artificial recharge to the groundwater and has a hand in the overall problem.Note 2.  I have no horse in this, but hydrologically...this isn't a tough nut to crack.A half million dollar investment.  I about spit my Mountain Dew all over the keyboard!- - - Updated - - -Note 3.  I too would be pissed if someone were to want to drain water into an ephemeral streambed that crosses my property.  Especially one with a fair number of septic systems draining into it.- - - Updated - - -Of course, other than water that comes in via plumbed rural water, the upstream folks aren't "adding" any water to the problem. They are merely seeking a solution to existing water problems.I, for one, can not believe we don't as a society hold the developers responsible when shit like this happens and it is not just reasonably foreseeable, but it is apparently obvious to anyone with even a minimal understanding of hydrology.- - - Updated - - -And final note on this one.  The article also leaves out the two lots to the east of this fine soil and drainage that were sold off for development by the project detractors.  The northern most one filled in the NE branch of the ephemeral stream in order to put its septic field in.  Near as I can tell, the septic field of this lot is less than 50 ft from that branch of the stream. Between that and the horses upstream, how could one NOT expect to find fecal coliforms in nature.</blockquote>
