Actually, unless he's sticking a hose down a storm drain--and maybe not

including bird poop ends up in the sewer...and everything in a
sewer--including the contents of all the holding tanks that are pumped
out--ends up in a sewage treatment plant.

You may be a marine sanitation "specialist", but your knowledge of
waste and run-off is blatantly lacking...There IS something wrong with
it...(unless you feel there is nothing wrong with committing a
misdemeanor), bird poop,and Terry"s Wal- Mart deposits, and, as you put
it, "everything on land" does not end up in the sewer, I don't know
what part of Idaho you're from, but in California, the vast majority of
runoff goes to storm drains, barrancas,flood control channels,streams
and rivers, and discharges directly to the harbors and ocean...
nearshore or onshore, about 3 miles shy of the 3 mile limit..Our
beaches are routinely closed by the Health dept. due to elevated levels
of fecal coliform bacteria; bad enough from the"bird poop".. the last
thing we need (or will tolerate) is morons dumping waste in the storm
drains. How you could possibly think that dumping sewage to a storm
drain is more environmentally friendly than at least taking it 3 miles
away from where people live, work, swim, surf, etc. is beyond logic.
Perhaps you've got stock in a gammaglobulin manufacturer...I'm sorry
Peggy, you may be adept at odor control, but your knowledge of
sanitation stinks....
So, I guess it's OK to pee in YOUR pool...
