‘They thought wrong:’ Construction crew floods Pearland pasture

A Pearland pasture was flooded by a construction crew working on building a bridge nearby. The woman who runs the pasture off Bailey Road, near Route 35, says she had no idea the construction company building a bridge nearby was pumping thousands and thousands of gallons of water onto her field.

I used to work at an apartment complex, we would have lot of problems with construction crews because they would try to throw all of their trash into our bins to save money. It was getting so bad that everyday that the residents couldn't throw their own trash without it being all over the streets. We had to take them all to court. I'm talking about ton of drywalls, carpets, doors, etc. Not even from our property

[@woopsserg]

He got a $500 fine. Turned out he was the manager’s cousin who thought it was fine because he was “ family” A few nights later both of the dumpsters were set on fire, Gee I wonder who it was! lol

I live in a town here in Hills Minnesota in our city pump sewer water onto my grandmother‘s property from the sewer system, right into her yard and didn’t even tell anybody they were doing it, didn’t even put up any warning signs, or anything that there was sewage, spread all over the ground in town. Of course why would this make any difference, it’s the same town that left the sewer system, covert open for days where kids can go with no wires or anything roping off the danger, apparently we learned nothing when we had to save Jessica from the well decades ago. I don’t think people understand when you pump sewage on the ground it’s full of hepatitis and all kinds of illnesses that you can catch.m

What is "Failure to Abate"? Is their a fine for water leaving a job site? The Containment Fabric is clearly viewable. However, contaminated water encroched upon adjoining properties.

I did however type that they showed a lot of footage of their boots, add none of that footage showed any mud on their boots. They did walk all over the field to show how bad it was, but there was just a little mud puddle and their feet weren't seeking in except for the one spot where she could dig her boot into the wet soil. Since when were horses allergic to water? Why is she worried about wet pastures burning her horses feet off when she should be worried about the one bale of hay per horse per day that she feeds them burning their hooves off.

@@despraterado588 She’s not complaining about the horses getting wet, she’s complaining about having to feed the horses because they can’t graze underwater and also having to keep them inside out of the standing water - that causes their shoes to loosen and their hooves to rot.

Five hours... Five hours is not critical. In 24-48 hours it will be gone. Unlikely they were running horses on pasture. Horses can't have wet feet now? Feet are suddenly rotting right off because water was running for five hours? Bale per day per horse? Unlikely. Which is it... they are either on pasture or you are charging customers a bale a day. You're not doing both. This is the typical crazy horse chick trying to get some money.

[@lindapindabelinda3570]

Guessing you don’t know much about horses or pastures.

[@stanlevox2291]

Yeah, but keep in mind this is private property here in Texas, we're big on private land ownership. They should give her a bit of compensation for their run-off on her private property. Maybe something trivial like 600 bucks and an apology. Someone legally can't just dump water causing liability and damages and horses won't graze there and increases batericial/fungi count as well as decreases pasture yield for x amount of time. This is a really easy settlement done with a few bucks and a handshake.
