Lagoon #157 Update




10:50AM- Both pumps were "on" and the lagoon seems pretty well drained at this time. Unfortunately, many leaks in the pumping system are still allowing a discharge of turbid/silt-laden water into the wetlands. Pulte has been apprised of this issue but apparently disagree that it is a violation of DHEC regulations.

  2. Not only is the Master Builder NOT an authority on construction (shoddily built lagoons, barely attached roof truss connections, defective stucco, cracked foundation slabs, wood floors turning black from foundation slab leaks, roof leaks from improperly shingled valleys, etc.), but the Master Builder is also NOT an authority on violations to the Clean Water Act. In 2008 the USEPA and USDOJ obtained record settlements from Pulte for violations of the Clean Water Act (http://peretired.blogspot.com/2008/09/us-epa-and-pulte-homes.html).
