Buff, they will keep going until everything is flat out here?

[Chief]

Flat??

Have you seen a working gravel pit lately??

Please Google the operative word "pit" in the above sentence.

;D

Sounds like Karma is observing the Christopher Columbus school of thought, "The earth is flat?"

[karma]

Yes Chief I know what they are about and how these are re-filled to have a flat land for redevelopement.
Buff, Some developers if CC have been know to flatten the land and screw up a project beyond repair just to build on land that is flat.
Again History dear fellows???

[Waterbuffalo]

Refill a gravel pit in Clark County? Please show me one place they have done that??

[karma]

Buff, not here!! Elsewhere, they also like to fill dumping areas and build houses on top!!

[Waterbuffalo]

Well if it hasn't been done here, why am I worried about this?

[karma]

It could be easily done here but they should heed the warning as it's coming back to bite some folks for allowing it to happen?? Especially when the land to build upon is all gone??

[Chief]

What about the land reclamation that's underway right now at Camp Bonneville?? Thanks to the past extended efforts of the US Army, large areas of that land are not only quite flat, but packed down flat with repeated explosions....

;D

goes to get his latest edition of "Alarmist news"

:-) Karma.. Thanks for a good laugh!

Chief: I don't think I'd want to go into Camp Bonneville unless they do get that Federal War Burial place for our veterans..
