Just look at what pours out of his pie hole day after day. |

Um, if that's what you got from my post, you need to go back and read it again, this time without the axe to grind... snerk Well, I think I read it more thoroughly than you. Because YOU said: "I was amazed that 50 years after the feds decided to clean up the river that it is still so bad. I really believed they were making measurable progress but from what I am reading, sadly, that is not true." When in fact, they've made a LOT of progress. |

When it rains the storm drains that share pipe with the sewers overload the system and they dump raw effluent from 53 different spillways directly into the Potomac or it's tributaries. That is what WSSC admits to in the link John posted. Then you have the nutrient load from the Blue Plains plant when things are working perfectly. They have banned summer fertilizer sales here for a nutrient problem that pales by comparison I suppose you could just say it is a city problem and any time you put that many toilets in that small an area you overload nature's mechanism for dealing with it. It would be interesting to see the NPDES permits for other big cities to see how they are doing., All of that takes MAJOR money, and the right wing doesn't want the government to spend. Wow, you mean the boogie man wants' dirty water?? LOL! |
