Boat hull cleaner: "This stuff cleans the crap off your boat hull" "No scrubbing, just one flush and its gone"
If your bow dives into a wave on the Ohio, does it become the "poop deck" ?
Is there a reason crap and carp have exactly the same letters in a slightly different order? Both start with something to "C", and both end with a "P".
If you exaggerate your propellor performance specs, should someone tell you to "cut the sh____?"
Good advice: "Never smoke cigars found in the Ohio River"
And last: Does this mean the catfish will have a harder time finding stink baits?[/QUOTE]
Lasts but not least should HURRICANEBOB change his avatar from just dooo it to Just doodoo man ?
This whole situation stinks! I used to swim in the Ohio all the time! Now I'm not so sure about it... :confused:

Sorry to laugh but I couldn't help but find this a little funny, and I'm assuming you didn't realize that this thread was a few years old.

[QUOTE=BigPoppy;431525]The problem with the EPA, has a very limited set of rules, the company/ city/ or any one for that matter can only be fined one time for any violation. I used to be in the asbestos disposal business. I worked for a very large company out of New Orleans. I had to attend three month course on disposal of all kinds of hazmat. The most surprising thing I learned was how the EPA was just about useless. The most that a company could be fined was $25000 a day. This actualy helped out the people commiting the infraction. I am not sure of what the fine is now but if you dump 4 million gallons of waste 25 thousand dollars is a cheap way out. think of it this way the cost of proper disposal would be in the millions, so why not take a hit and you make 90 percent proffit versus doing it right and only making a 25% pay check[/QUOTE]
The city I used to live in has been sued by the USEPA and told by the courts to stop dumping sewage in the Ohio River. They are giving them 25 years to fix the problem. It's going to cost millions of dollars to fix the problem. The tax payers are going to have to pay for this fix. When it rains sewage backs up in the basements at times. So the city has to by pass the treatment plant and dump the excess storm water/sewage right into Pigeon Creek and the Ohio River during big rain events.
The current Mayor of Evansville, IN would rather fun a new dog park and a new shiny Hilton Hotel and a new IU medical school that spend money on fixing the sewer system in Evansville, IN.
It's not just Louisville, KY that has this problem. Every city along the River has a problem handing all the sewage and other waste waters. And it's not just poop that's in the waste water. There all kinds of industrial discharges going down into the sewers. All types of toxic chemical are being dumped into the Ohio River up and down it's entire length.
At the end of the Rivers (Mississippi River) is the Gulf of Mexico where there is a huge dead zone that nothing can live in. That's where all this stuff eventually ends up.
We need to fund the USEPA so that it can do it's job and help clean up the water that we fish in, swim in and even drink. We bath in this water as well. The less we dump into our rivers the better and cleaner the waters will be. And the less health problems we have in the long run.
