So little of the toxic materials came from campanies here? Yet we have to deal with it? Awful. BTW, the treatment plant still smells awful. Smells like rotted chicken. Now...wonder where that could be coming from?
As a life long Decatur resident... the treatment plan has stunk for 40 + years... BPA was a bad egg.. but they we absolutely NOT the reason the plant was stinking... totally inadequate treatment plant and a lack of responsibiltiy by DU and the City.
Raymond, your post is negative and brings nothing to the table. From your post, one would assume that you have some knowledge or experience in the proper treatment of wastewater. Why don't you offer something constructiive? Have you ever offered any suggested improvements to the plant management? Or is it your preference to throw anonymous arrows?
