Thanks. I've been on the Anacostia. It is definitely in need of
cleaning, and is probably the source of 90% of the pollution that gets
into the Potomac, except when a heavy rain floods the Blue Plains water
treatment plant, of course.

Is that true? I thought that agricultural runoff was the number one source of Bay problems.
I've read that the Anacostia is the most polluted river in the Chesapeake watershed, and
perhaps, one of the most polluted rivers in the country. It's a shame, 30 years after the Clean
Water Act, this mess still continues.
