I know!!
God forbid should they appreciate and cherish millions of years of evolution (or God's creation depending on your sensibilities) and do their best to preserve the biological heritage of their lands for their great grandchildren and beyond. Damn gubbermint should just let all the stormwater, erosion and hog shit go wild - like in the dust bowl, now those were the laissez faire days.

You can't just throw whatever the hell you want in sinkholes, contaminating the ground water further down the line, just because it is your property. As a society we have evolved far above the "Do whatever the hell you want no matter what" mentality on your own property, and for a good reason.

I'd rather my kids not be subjected to poison unknowingly because of a landowner that thinks his property is an appropriate dump for chemicals and garbage. I you want you and yours to drink that waste then go ahead. Sometimes laws preventing douchebaggery are good. Y

I believe the reason of this thread was to announce adding the Sculpin to the long list of endangered species. In my mind, this will cause just another reason why landowners will be suspicious about letting cavers on their land or caves. Are you really saying farmers who use herbicides or pesticides on their farms are "douchbags"? That seems to be the real issue, not filling sinkholes with trash.
