You guys live in New York. Hard telling what's left over in the soil. Love Canal?
And you probably live in Gary…………..
you don't have to live near Gary to experience pollution in indiana. Farmers constantly dump chemicals......on their TILED fields that drain into our waterways. It's not pollution if farmers do it though. I work in wastewater and I know of a treatment plant whose effluent dumps into a small creek. That effluent has to be treated to darn near drinking water quality, including using uv sterilization (to kill e.coli). Along the same creek the farmers dump so much manure from dairy farms in the fields that it looks like a lake.
A lot of things to blame for pollution, not just farmers. Aren't there still sewage treatment plants that have the local storm drains running into the plants and when there is too much rain they have to release untreated sewage into the local waterway? We have properties on the lakes here that look like mannicured golf courses. Has to be some serious fertilizer and herbicides doing that.
Where I live there’s little worry about that problem. I’m well out of harms way here in our little village of Macedon. This was definitely a plant based attack. Which really pees me off because I provided the little demon……whatever it was….a place to live and grow. Then it goes and makes me miserable…well…uncomfortable for a week or more I’d guess.Anyway, I’m gonna spray the worst possible horrible chemical on those weeds I can find and never think about it again. ( not a lot though)9’ corn…….sounds like it doesn’t need a shot of MG nastiness.
Several treatment plants still have combined sewers that do overflow during heavy rains. And the ones that don't have people illegally pumping storm water in their sewers.
