In fact, it's a lot more environmentally friendly than dumping a tank at sea. Everything on land 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... |
