The Eastern Hog Island Farmers Development Group is calling on the government to “stamp out corruption” as it is effectively stifling business in that community.In a letter to the president seen by this newspaper,Jeremy Lin Nets Swingman Jersey, the body, on behalf of all farmers in the community,Jourdan Lewis Jersey, stated that it is particularly dissatisfied with the “substandard work” that has been done on a koker being built at Sand Creek.This newspaper understands that the structure, budgeted at a cost of $17.4M,Orlando Magic Jersey, has started since 2011, but remains incomplete.According to the community group,Nabil Bentaleb Jersey UK, farmers have been affected tremendously over the years and have suffered great financial losses due to flooding and “inadequate control of water to take out our produce from the backdam.”The letter stated that apart from the fact that the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA)’s excavator was being used by the contractor for the last month,Tampa Bay Rays Matt Duffy Jersey, and “is presently parked in his compound,Alexis Sanchez Chile Jersey,” farmers are concerned about the poor quality of work.Some examples of “substandard” works cited are that “second quality greenheart was used to build the koker,Vince Dunn Jersey, there is an absence of stop log or groove,Felipe Gutierrez Jersey, there is no system to open koker door and the diversion is leaking.”It was further stated that “Contractors dig big holes around the structure to backfill the structure and refuse to full them leaving the dam with holes containing water.”It was also stated that “the dirt used to backfill the structure contains lots of old woods (sic).”The letter stated that when farmers objected to the abovementioned problems, they were ordered to keep 300 ft away from the siteAccording to the Eastern Hog Island Farmers Development Group,China Jerseys Cheap, water has been steadily overtopping and it appears as if the structure will soon collapse.The body stated in its letter that several efforts were made to have NDIA “send better engineers” to assess the situation, but to date none has been made available.The group said that it is calling on the NDIA to make the correction “so that farmers can continue to produce more and live without fear. We are tired complaining to NDIA.” |
