You can add the EPA to the list of governmental idiots.....they have effectively and single-handedly allowed the flooding of thousands of homes and 600,000 acres of farmland in the southern MS Delta.....I saw the flooding down there last week with my own eyes.....EPA has caused an absolute catastrophe.

I won't elaborate, but if you're interested, here's what they did(or, didn't do):

> a flood control project was approved by Congress to alleviate this flood problem, years ago.
> the COE completed the dam construction, ahead of the installation of the pumps
> EPA reared it's ugly head and rejected the installation of the pumps because of some mussels
> the dam is backing out the floodwaters onto homes and farmland, and there are no pumps to move the floodwater out to the MS River
