Do they have the right of way?
Is their permit in conflict with any existing law/conservation bills, etc?
Who owns the right of way where they are building?

And, in light of the water crisis, is what they doing gonna impact current conservation requirements?

someone needs to find the environmental impact forms they filed.

See if you can get a volunteer lawyer or environmentalist to help.

Those landowners being impacted might know some helpful people.

When you get your information together, and if you find any problems, get local tv news station to do a story.
But you have to have facts before then.

It took 6 years, but a small group of folks in our lil area defeated a HUGE corporation that wanted to plant a toxic waste dump in county.
