Our rivers are polluted enough as it is.

I know someone who admitted that a company he worked for would dump waste into a river years back to save on getting rid of it.

Theres plenty of lead, mercury, garbage biproduct and much more flowing through and settling on the floors of our rivers.

No need for any more

when I first heard it on the pre-news they where claiming it flowed unchecked for 1.5 days 2 days Christmas day and most of the day after up to 850k gph. but I never saw the follow up . that's allot but a city the size of Shelton didn't sound impossible.

Gents,
It was the Town of Seymour where the leak occurred.

There was so much debris in the river one day that NWDarkcloud (aka Bob) said it was like fishing in a flooded dumpster. Laughing
