Oh, okay. I thought you meant I had "to be kidding you." I don't want to come off as too preachy.
However, while excess nitrates aren't a great thing, it is very difficult to build up truly toxic levels of nitrates in fresh water. This is due to benthic bacteria in the stinky muck at the bottom of rivers and lakes. These bacteria turn nitrates back into Nitrogen gas and water. There's lots of other smelly processes going on down there at the same time, so it's maybe not easy to see a purification process going on. If nitrate levels increase, the population of these bacteria increase to feed on it. I'm curious as to what the dissolved nitrate levels are in these same waters. Simply because they dumped nitrates in, doesn't mean they're still there.
One place this process doesn't work is in very well-oxygenated waters such as mountain streams and lakes with hard bottoms. Benthic bacteria can't survive there, so there's nothing to control nitrate levels. Polluting these waters is like a crime against nature too.
Steve...does the report say which of the pollutants they found in Indiana water? I'd be very interested to find out. Maybe it's the pollution keeping me from catching any fish last year at Patoka.....yeah, that must have been it.
