Government at Work - the E.P.A.
Wow. Something is seriously wrong here.
It sounds so outrageous that you would think there was another shoe to drop.
The fact that it's reached the Supreme Court implies it is just what it is...

Mark Hyman writes about it at PJmedia.com:
"However, construction screeched to a halt upon the order of three agents of the Environmental Protection Agency. The property was a federally protected 'wetlands,' the Sacketts were told, and they were served with a compliance order to immediately restore the property to its prior condition.
In fact, the EPA compliance order went even further. Relying on authority it claimed to have received under the Clean Water Act, EPA officials prescribed a set of conditions that went beyond the prior condition of the property when the Sacketts purchased it.
The Sacketts were ordered to plant “native scrub-shrub, broad-leaved deciduous wetlands plants and [have the property] seeded with native herbaceous plants.” Further, they were ordered to fence the property and monitor plant growth for three years."
