Your "competent regulator" with a "green bias" is baloney. The US Army Corps of Engineers conducted an assessment (green bias?). I don't think you talked to any protestor. Your post looks like it was made up by someone who likes to post baloney on the internet. Post some facts here with links to reputable sources. Otherwise your post is baloney.
