What part of "maybe not even then" and "there's nothing wrong with it"
do you fail to comprehend?

What part of "maybe" didn't you understand, Mark? If it ends up in the
sewer--granted, not all storm drains are connected to sewer
pipes...hence my use of the word "maybe"--there's nothing
environmentally wrong with it.

If YOU would actually read the posts, you
would see that what was said was that there may not be anything wrong
with dumping in a storm drain...

Right...I did say "MAY NOT"...


, because "bird poop" and "everything else
on land" ends up in the sewer and sewage is treated. That just isn't
so...

In YOUR area...but not in all. But even storm drains that do empty
directly into the ocean instead of a sewer line do so through pipes that
terminate at least 3 miles offshore (that wasn't always true, but is in
MOST places now), which is also the minimum distance from shore to
legally dump a tank at sea. So how is dumping a tank down a storm drain
that terminates 3 miles offshore any worse for the environment than
dumping it at sea barely 3 miles offshore?

Yours is just one more example of a "knee jerk" emotional reaction
without any rational reasoning behind it.
