At first I thought it was a broken pipe cause the discharge because of the sign on top of the hillside.


You just don't crap where you eat... so why discharge sewage in our waters ? I'm sorry but this is so wrong on so many levels.


Final picture is the culprit

Flatline don't panic ... !!

Now would be panic time (but not then) was when I lived in Tuscaloosa, Ala. in 1962 as a teenager... Yea, yea, yea... Coach Bear Bryant's Kid was a school mate of mine and have been to his house many times ...

Question in point ... The river that runs in that neck of the woods is called the Black Warrior (yep Indian tribe)... Just so happens that there was a number of asphalt factory's that bordered and dumped there waste in to the river .. Besides Nichole's Lake (city drinking water) this was the only place that you could water ski ... After a day of skiing you had to remove the tar residue from your legs with kerosene .. Now that was pollution !!

Also the factory's had 4 gauge shot gun cannons mounted on the decks of the work boats to descale the work barges of their tar ... So Flatline keep you tree hugging panties on ... we are 100% safer now than 60 years ago ... I have lived it... TK
