its more than you think
you think the cost for your bond relates in any way to what it would in another industry?
I believe I have a small bond, a friend the same size. he pays 20x as much as I do. we do different work
a 5mil bond for an off-road park I could see easily being very prohibitive.
on your enviro retardation... are you worried about co2 as well?
you realize oil comes out of the ground? and isn't made of fossils? such a shame the earth would dirty itself that way.
the issues you bring up are unlikely and an order of magnitude smaller than something like your example of a tanning company, polluting a river. imagine the horror of all those 2stroke in the water ways.
I'd bet an offroad park is far better for the environment, than if all those people that attend that park were to find other places to do their activities. but by your logic we should shut down all motor sports. but your cool with your plowing because you like it.
maybe you should live in a more temperate climate where you don't need to plow and can hug trees year round.
