came and inspected the dam yesterday. Says they had sent a letter giving me a heads up that they were coming but I don't remember seeing a letter. Anyway, comes through a closed gate, down a heavily wooded 1/4 mile driveway and pulled down to the house. Wife was here and he announced himself and headed down to the dam to do his thing. The guy did not leave a card and the wife and I thought it was someone casing out the joint (I was at the mill). I called the local Sheriff and told him about it. He said that he would make some calls. He called back about an hour later and it seems the Department of Natural Resources has an Environmental Protection Division with a Safe Dams department. He was down from ATL inspecting my dam. Quick google search reflected a whole bunch of paperwork dictating existing dam requirements. First time I've ever seen it. The dam was built in 1935 and even if it failed I own the property it would flood. Go figure.

When we become fully socialist the DNR will be on the front line in my opinion.

What a bunch of bull.
