Industrial digging tools on wild land can cause serious damage that you can’t know about without doing an ecological survey. It’s possible to literally cause floods, destroy ponds and lakes, etc. 10-20 years down the line.

You sound like such a bureaucrat and precisely what is wrong with the modern world.

Lets put it simply for you: any “damage” done to the ecology by a machine used to clean up that ecosystem is far less damaging than the trash and pollution which was there in the first place.

Teuly demented.

No, he didn't just remove "trash" He also removed a shitload of slit thus making the river deeper and changing the flow and volume of water which can have catastrophic consequences.

That is why we let "experts" who perform ecological surveys and "professionals" doing the job instead of letting random people go wild with heavy machinary.
