With that stellar logic, I can;t argue with you.:rolleyes:

Actually, there is a lot of desire to prevent these types of spills. The problem is that no one wants to pay the taxes required to build and maintain plants that are large enough to handle the few times when a lot of rain (or whatever) overload mixed sewer systems (remember, many are mixed sewer/stormwater) It's a catch 22 (at least I think that's the phrase) - don't do it, and people say leaders don't care - do care, collect the money for a plant that only really has a use for maybe 20 days a year, and then people say the gov't is wasting money.

Decide what you want and write your gov't leaders.

Cheers,

Apparently the spill is number 78 since 2005. The last three spills from the Patapsco pumping station total 60 million gallons.

Why is it that in New York City they were able to clean up both the Hudson and the East rivers? These are exceptionaly clean now and are the number 2 spawning area for stripers on the east coast. Why can they clean those up but yet there is no attempt at the Potapsco River?

In Philly and Camden they cleaned up the Delaware River which now has stripers up at the Navy yards in south Philly.

So what goes in Baltimore? Did everyone just give up and accept the fact that between sewage and Omega Protien catching all the menhaden, that it's a loosing battle? Stripers are down as are crabs, so maybe we already lost the battle. Better days ahead, I hope, Bob
