Re: Dump used motore oil ANYWHERE you want to!

Bruce, I retired from that profession of 30 years last year about this time. This thread was burried many pages back, and I inadvetantly posted to it while browsing, watching the tube. I posted in it, thinking it was another post. A harmeless mistake, but it brought it from page 80 to page 1. :rolleyes: <br /><br />But this event I posted about a year ago was intergal to my decission to retire from the E.P. inspection field for good. I now install/repair irrigation systems, and it's like a great wieght has been lifted off my shoulders. Whereas, I'm sure not happy about having to continue working instead of fishing and boat building, I'm happy to just go out in the township, and just have to worry about landscaping dying from lack of irrigation.<br />What a contrast, huh?<br />But thanks for the words of encouragement again. It's nice to be reminded of how important it is to protect what God gave us.

12Footer,<br /><br />Another possible alternative: is this something the local press might be interested in? If so, might generate enough publicity/ pressure to influence future cases like this.<br /><br />As far as getting rid of used oil, here in NC the auto parts stores are required to take it back for recycling. I've had quick change oil shops happily take used oil as well. Is this just NC law or federal?<br /><br />Good luck & keep up the good fight!

It really stinks, but there is no physical evidence that what he dumped was in fact oil. Unless you have a lab test conclude that what he was pouring was in fact oil. <br />Saying it could be chocolate syrup is ridiculous, but it is not up to him to prove he was not dumping oil, it was up to the state to prove he was. Burden of proof. <br />Unless the photos showed him drain oil directly from the car, then dump it. You would about need a video to show there was no pause between photographs.<br />The smoking gun doesn't mean a thing in court!

Washington Auto Parts stores (not ALL) will take your old oil adn recycle it for free, but only a certain amount. It is certainly not a requirement to do so, however, if we were caught dumping into a public drainage, or into our septic, you can believe there would be retribution. Washington is more concerned with protecting Salmon streams than the lives of babies being aborted!!!

He!! Spinner its ben resurected twice already. why not go for three.<br /><br /><br /> Out here what I do is wait for the dark of the moon, at midnight , get the backhoe and dig a large hole, and throw all my used battrys, old tires, unused pesticides and herbisides, and burnt motor oil in it and cover it up. You then slick up the ground with the front bucket, and feed a round bale of hay to the cows on the spot.<br />When the cows get the ground cleaned up of hay you cant even tell it was ever disturbed.<br /> That ground will have good grass on it the next year. all the bad stuff goes down into the groundwater, Who cares I dont have a well.<br /> <br /> ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D

TNRCC is the correct answer in Texas. Whether large or small spill they are serious. Course you are getting close to being a tree hugger on this one. Rush says the world can renew itself and we cause no harm.

Lol @ txs. It's pretty funny that DJ is getting hit over the head with a lawyer slam from 2002 . . . Be careful what you write it is permanent. Holy carp!! Can you do a gross edit of all of your posts? I want it set up like email, auto delete after 14.3 months.<br /><br />Maybe we can get 18R to help DJ out since he is currently MIA.

Re: Dump used motore oil ANYWHERE you want to!

" I just read today that a lawsuit has been filed against President Bush because he allegedly knew all about 9/11. That attorney should be tried for treason."<br /><br />Hey DJ....why should this lawyer be charged with treason? Maybe he can prove that Bush did know about 9/11 ahead of time. Wouldn't shock me if it was true. Do you know for certain that he did not know about it in advance? You think you know, but you don't know for sure.
