And The State Blames The Farmers!



Last week in Worcester County the Power Company, (or one of their contractors) were out in force with chemicals being sprayed to kill ANYTHING anywhere close to the power lines.

As you can see from the first picture, there's a pond right there where they killed off the trees and weeds. 

The following two pictures are along Rt. 50 where the tributaries travel to the local rivers and bays. 

Now I ask you, is this at all healthy for our waterways? I personally watched one of these trucks spraying and let me tell you, it was like watching a very powerful spray from a Fire Truck, (as an example). 

Anything in its way got sprayed and killed and let me tell you, it was dead in TWO DAYS. I'd say that's some pretty potent stuff. Yeah, it's the Farmers alright, NOT.

The state can spray whatever it wants but you can't.

Don't let that get to Josh Hastings. He may want to confiscate the land.

Noticed today the dead pines under the wires along St Martins Neck Rd in Bishopville just off of RT 90 and right up to the Bay just before Light House Sound.
I figured they had to have been sprayed. Lots of sea turtles and water fowl and herons in that area.

@8:51. I still have trouble believing they let them build Lighthouse Sound at all. Money talks. Do you by chance remember the Isle of Wight before Lighthouse Sound? It was an awesome piece of wetland...

Guess they are doing that for the new poles they are putting up in the other articles you posted. Hopefully someone will mention that at tonight's meeting at OC Fire station 5
