Berms would do more to pollute the water than to prevent
pollution...because, unlike oil which has to be contained and retrieved,
dilution--which would be prevented if the tidal and current flow were
blocked by berms--is essential in both waste treatment AND spill recovery.

Yours is just one more example of the kind of knee-jerk emotional
reaction without any knowledge to back it up that the environmental
extremists count on to support their own self-serving agendae.

This weekend the City of Hampton VA allowed 2 million gallons of raw
sewage to wash into the James River just outside the Chesapeake Bay.
The cause was 3 inches of rain fall. They must have never heard of
berms like all the private petroleum companies have to have around their
tanks. Of coarse the city is exempt from any sanctions. I wonder how
many boats does it take to produce 2 million gallons of sewage.
Somethings wrong with this picture.
