What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana.
We live in the country where septic tanks are used. Recently I figured out why my pastures are flooded, the neighbors septic is leaching into my property. This causes black goopy water to stand in my pasture. I have had to move animals because of this, but can not afford to keep moving them. This is a health hazard to my goats and because they are dairy goats, I am concerned. I have asked the property owner to rectify this and her response was " it is not my problem" I have had the local board of health out, and they said " Unless they see water bubbling out of the ground, there is nothing they can do" Yet when I put a call in when the water IS bubbling up, they are never available. What can I do??? Her septic is poisoning my ground!
