I've never heard of the City Of Baltimore dumping, but there are numerous
other small towns that have been caught doing it. We have a treatment plant
just up the creek from us that has been known to leak a bit Never seen
anything on the Patapsco that comes close to being able to walk on. The
biggie lately is Queentown on Queenstown Creek that had been dumping
for along time.

This must be the same newsource that occasionally reports that the city
of Baltimore erroneously dumped a 'few' gallons of raw sewage into the
Patapsco River,etc. ... when in reality its usually hundreds of
thousands of gallons ... so thick you can almost walk on it.

Funny, the media around here (Baltimore) last reported the spill
as 10K gallons.

You must not have very good media in Baltimore. The very first reported
estimate was 30k gallons. Now that they've measured what was lost from
the ship it's more than 10 times that.
