Wrong Mooron. I posted the dictionary definition.


Do not dispute this with me Bob... you are way out of your league here. This
discussion encompasses a disipline with which I make my living and am well
respected for my knowledge in such matters.

No amount of "flushing" can remove the type of dumping that's occured.
This does not change the fact that the majority of the contamination
effects the base of the sound and not the water contained in it. That
water circulates and is exchanged on a regular basis. The water of the
Sound is clean, but the base is contaminated. No one has ever been
injured by swimming in these waters. I don't eat seafood from this area
because the ecological damage might extend that far. Still, I know lots
of people who eat what they catch here and no one is glowing or getting
sick.

You are very mistaken in that Bob... suspended particulate matter
contributing to such an overwhelming amount of sedimentation is proof the
water body is polluted. That's a fact.
