NY DEC changed my name

[Anonymous Poster]

Well, according th NY DEC, I'm officially NOBODY. The reporter who intervued their official petroleum spill expert tole me the genius in charge of spills specificly told her that NOBODY was well dependant so DEC hadn't been overly concerned about the spill at the old gas station 1/2 mile from my farm. He also told the reporter if there had been any well dependant people in the area the cleanup would have been far more serious.
I guess I should be NOBODY, after all, my family and I have only been on this property for 50 years, getting all our water from 2 wells here. Thing I'm wondering about though, how is that other government genius, the mail carrier, going to distinguish between me and all the rest of the NOBODYS living a mile down the aquifer?
Oddly, the State Assemblyman's office didn't seem to understand my request for the forms to fill out so I could get all those taxes I paid, seemed to me NOBODY shouldn't have to pay taxes. Jill over at the Assemblyman's office was on the phone to DEC right quick.

Wow, I hope it works out for you. These Agencies are quick to jump everyone else when a spill happens. Drinking water is getting more, and more scarce these days. The best of luck to you, and your neighbors. Kent

NOBODY: can relate to your situation. very difficult to deal with state agencies, especially n.y. knowing state,they will probably tell u that since u are NOBDY, u paid NO taxes, thus u get NO refund./w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif good luck in your battle.

I find that hard to believe. Allthough i have never called on the DEC on a spill i did threaten the people who installed our pool a few years back. Their Bobcat dumped 12 quarts of oil in my side yard causeing it to get stuck and sliding down and wrecking a Z-brick sidewalk to the house. They said this happen now then and a homeowner must be prepared for minor lawn damage during the installation. I shut them down right then and called there boss and told them i was getting an estimate on repairs or they were not continuing. When the boss said we wont pay for it. I threatend them with the DEC about the oil spill they said get the bill ready we will pay it.
Didnt have to twist their arm after that/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
