Sewage spill on Patapsco

[reds]

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
