BRKG: 2 Million Gallons Of Sewage Flowing Into Maryland River

this is shit man!

Boil the turd water before you drink it!

I saw some news broadcasts last night that said the water in some areas, NY I think, is unsafe in any event.

It can't be made safe by boiling or any other sterilization techniques apparently.

Don't know how valid the news report was

I doubt anyone will be able to tell.

all the northeast went to the sewers ?

Over the past 50 years, nationally-recognized land preservation efforts in this part of Maryland have saved tens of thousands of acres from the Baltimore-Washington bedroom community sprawl. The southern half of the U.S. Army's Fort Meade was added to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, which, at 12,300 acres (50 km2), is the second largest contiguous public park-refuge within 30 miles (50 km) of either Washington or Baltimore. It is located midway between these two cities. The contiguous public area of 8,575 acres (35 km2) centered on Jug Bay, 42 miles (68 km) upriver from the Chesapeake, form the fifth largest such Baltimore-DC preserve and largest tidewater one and consist of the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, the Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Jug Bay component of the Patuxent River Park. The 6,600-acre (27 km2) Patuxent River State Park in the uppermost part of the basin is the seventh largest.

OOMG gross, when I used to live in Massachusetts I lived on a small harbor where for 20 years they continually pumped waste into. Even though in the late 80s and 90s they cleaned it up the smell still remains in low tide.

Yep... CNN showed some pretty gross videos. WOW ! That is NASTY !!!

Poop doom???

That's nothing. In Bangkok its 8 million gallons a minute. 24/7/365

mmmm Noodle soup.....

Trickle down economics dam finally burst.

Good morning all, I thought it might important to share this horrifying article I found last night... I have heard no mention of this at all, anywhere. Has anyone else see this?

Flooding in the canal is troubling as its a superfund site that is home to extensive industrial activity and has a long, well-deserved reputation as a hotbed of toxic sludge and pollutants. The Environmental Protection Agency describes the canal as “one of the nation’s most extensively contaminated water bodies.” [link to observer.com]

I find this very disturbing. What about waterways that connect?
What about mass disease from all of this and people traveling who don't know they're sick? Quarantine perhaps?

My gosh! The contaminates from gas, sewage, chemicals, rats and whatever else is hatched from the ground in this water is hazardous waste all of us need to be concerned about.
How quickly can this spread? What about the wind carrying the contaminates?!

Scary questions I'm seriously concerned and freaked out about because I realize many people are going to be very sick :( Anyone else seeing the big picture down the road from this terrible disaster in so many states?
