Enraged Retired City of Bridgeport Supervisor, Mason Steele, filed a July 13, 2004 United States Forestry Complaint about water runoff. His terminology strong that I blackened it on the report on the right.

I was then contacted by a representative of Petroplus Corporation to attend a meeting at the rear of 113 Platinum Drive. This was unexpected, as their Previous Morgantown City Planner; a pleasant Rich Lane, became immediately unpleasant  after they, the City and State of WV signed an agreement during September of 2003 which appeared to absolve Platinum Properties of everything

Two adjoining neighbors also attended along with a small swarm of Petroplus employees. I believed all were confused as to why? Then an agitated Rich Lane arrived and states our land was worthless. Later realizing the owners were trying to get around him.

One neighbor told Rich Lane that you cannot release water on another property owner. Rich kept stating the pre - post development water idea. The same scheme that would later appear in Platinum's Terradon Engineering report of 2007.

He was then asked if they surveyed the area to make sure the fence line was the property line. As the fence line may be only a monumental marker. Rich Lane then became unnerved.

Note: Within a few years a prominent arrives and views Platinum's then upheavals as not of the American system. Not an issue between landowners, nor the realm of attorneys. It was all a construction issue that should have never been allowed to occur. Now that is has, a judge would simply have the fill removed and the buildings torn down.

Drainage Diagram - 2003-2004 time period
At this stage, lot drainage was still trying to reach its designed outlet drain. However the lot area was starting to "dip". This changed the direction of some of the drainage towards the guardrail / fence area.
