And they said there was no God! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif It sure looks like your neighbor is starting to get what he deserves. Good luck in your hearing, you have the patience of a Saint.

Sounds like a good time for a little face to face negotiations with your neighbor in need.
Then again he has been paying a lawyer all this time so obviously money is not important to him. Maybe a new septic on his own property is in the cards. One could hope that it is expensive and inconvenient.

Better yet, one could hope that he will not be able to get a septic permit and thus be induced to sell out to mdbarb as I think mdbarb once offered. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Talked with Environmental Health yesterday. He says yes the neighbor did bring in some stuff but not yet a complete application. He also says the drawing shows the leach line 5' back from the property - Well the open trench shows the line within 2 or 3 feet and still heading towards my property, plus there is the matter of a 100' setback from the wetlands.
It looks like I will have to stay on him to make sure he follows the letter of the law on this.

If the property line is well marked, I would be tempted to do a little digging on your side of the property line and see just how far his system goes.
People like your neighbor that make trouble will blame the whole thing on someone else anyway. It is too bad that he is having problems /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but the timing is so very nice.

mdbarb,
Can you get pictures of the trench, property line, and
other reference points?
I had a neighbor who through his own stupidity lost track of
the property lines. I had a survey crew remark a our
common liine as well as the lot lines where my house is going
to be built. The common property line we shared had the only
space where they could build a septic system and the area
was parallel to the line. Since the dummy had removed not
only the earlier survey flags but the engineer's flags I knew
the septic field would end up on my land.
The new survey was well worth the money to keep his
stupidity from cost me more money. I swore that if I saw that
they built the field on my land I would hook up the backhoe
and starting digging a trench just on my side of the line. But
it would have been a mess....
Has your lawyer said what you can or cannot do if his septic
field is on your land? I would suppose it has no bearing
what so ever on the easment issue.
I had some stressful issues pop up last week. I was thinking
of what my dear departed granny used to say, "It will get
better in the end." She raised four kids by herself on a
teacher's salary and I'll be danged if I know how she managed.
And in those days teachers really where not paid anything. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I think my granny got through many a tough time on "It will
get better in the end." Its often all she ever had.
Later,
Dan

I like that idea. As long as you know you are on your own property and your evil neighbor does not have an easement for septic (unlikely) then you can just start digging away. Might just want to follow the dotted line (or stinking line, as the case may be /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) and see how much leverage you have over him.
He might just discover that he's not all that upset with you after all if you have the Power Of The Septic over him /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

It appears that justice still sometimes prevails in this country. Use your new found "ace in the hole" wisely.
