It is possible the treated wastewatet is killing off the fish, but then how do we explain their survival all those decades the raw sewage was just dumped?

They do this in South Carolina on a farm next to my dad’s house and it stinks for about a week.

I am concerned regarding the run off into rivers from streams, rain, etc. from this practice. I have seen what has happened in other parts of the US when they did this. It is one of the things that resulted in having to destroy tons of food in California that had become contaminated from the run off from a close by field that was sprayed with this. Let’s do a little research and ask the people who live near this how they feel about it.

“It sells for 12 bucks per bag under the name “Milorganite”.

I bought that stuff and applied it to my front lawn–once. It smelled worse than a failing septic tank for over two weeks–and worse when it rained. Human poop smells awful–no way around it.

Just my personal experience.

I have experienced this first hand. If things haven’t changed rest assured it smells as bad or worse than the old sewage plant on Main St ever did on a bad day or foggy or humid day. Does anyone remember a few years back when they put the mounds on Pine Forest Rd. accross from Five Flags race track. It stunk. Well they spread this sludge mess on a field next to us on Jack’s Branch Rd. South of my place in Barrineau Park. It smelled just like a sewage plant (raw smell) . They were made to scrape it up and lime the field. Now consider this was just up from the river (Perdido). Whether it’s enviromentally approved or not or contaminated or not what about the ecoli that we have had in lettuce, green onions and any number or vegetables we have had people get sick from or die from. I personally did not come to live buy property and pay taxes etc. to smell and deal with the equivalence of a sceptic tank or outdoor toilet (Oversized) right next door.

NOWHERE IN THE ARTICLE DOES IT SAY IT IS RAW SEWAGE. IT IS TREATED AND IS PERFECTLY SAFE AND ENVIRMENTALLY POSITIVE!

A widespread practice that is perfectly safe.

If this is being done—–i just don’t want to know. How very sickening to think that our farm land is being spread with raw sewage—-the litter problem is bad——our food is being contaminated with pesticides and herbicides. The doctors are injecting unsuspecting souls with killer bacteria because someone, somewhere did not test a batch (or many batches) of medicine. ——-and this is the United States where the Perdido Key Mouse has more protection than the citizens. What a mess we are in!
