Dump in Ocean.
I think the EPA has prohibited that.
Invite some politicians to speak; all that hot air will melt snow in no time.
Nope,no here at least.You see...about 20 years ago a terrorist in black robes (meaning a Federal judge) ruled that the water of Boston harbor had to be clean enough to drink.That ruling ordered that the area spend billions and billions on treatment plants,etc.So now it's now not unusual for a household's water bills to be higher than their property tax bills.
And,of course,it also meant no dumping snow in the harbor because God knows that a dog might have peed on it.
“Dump in Ocean.”
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe the holdup up is because an Environmental Impact study is required first?
I lived in Baltimore in the late 1980’s and the city just dumped snow in the harbor from trucks. Then the environmental types put an end to it. So, the city started building huge mountains of snow, which melted, and the melt water ran into the harbor. In the 2000’s they ran ran out room, even after building a mountain at the former Memorial Stadium site. They brought in gas fired snow melters which deposit the melt into the storm drains, which then run into the harbor. In 2010 the city just said screw it and got permits to dump into the harbor again.
Not in Portland, OR!!!!
They WON’T Plow.
They won’t salt the roads.
Instead they worry about “contaminating” the ocean with the salt.
Look it up!
