Great Point George!
Down on Clark Hill Lake in Georgia, the Corps of Engineers has strict
rules as to what a person can build on their own property. The Corps of
Engineers built the dam.....but what does that have to do with someone
building a shed on his property 25 miles from the dam?

*Gasp!* Imagine!

Unheard of, I know, but couldn't the locals have actually taken action
for themselves?

It's not their property. That would be sort of like the State of Tennessee
trying to take over or enhance some of TVA's stuff. The Feds will not
stand for that sort of thing. They certainly didn't when Tennessee tried
to take control of the Telico project.
