Homeless Camp Waste Leads To Big Toxic Discharge After Massive Storm
CBS Sacramento ^ | January 17, 2019 | Steve Large

Posted on 01/18/2019 8:42:46 AM PST by C19fan

Wednesday’s massive storm had rivers rising all around our area. In Sacramento County, the surge of water swept away toxic waste from homeless camps and sent it all downstream.

One section of Steelhead Creek, hit hard by toxic debris from homeless camps, grabbed the attention of geologist Roland Brady.

One day after the storm, Brady came out to see the aftermath.

“I wouldn’t drink it,” Brady said. “I would never drink it. What you’ll see are places that look like a solid waste disposal site, with a creek flowing through it.”

Moving out of CA was the best decision I ever made.

The words “toxic waste” to me usually indicate some sort of poisonous chemical spill, not just plain ol’ s#it.

So, storm (no doubt due to agw) dumps big moisture on Ca causing big “dump” to flow downhill from homeless camp. So, they weren’t at the KOA then?

One thing I’ve noticed about the homeless, they’re not overly punctilious about sanitation.

My folks and I sailed into Oakland in the summer of ‘61.
California looked damned good to me...

For LaLa Land residents:

No problem, it’s all going to end up in San Francisco (Or the Bay Area) where they love it.

Were the homeless people applying DDT using florescent light bulbs with high-mercury batteries?

“Whether you like it or not!”

That was Newsome’s closing phrase 10 years ago, when he said
“Gay marriage is coming whether you like it or not!”. I think he was an Assemblyman back then.
This was after the second (or third) statewide vote showing that the majority voter rejected this social experiment.

The headline would make you think these “poor” homeless people are eating radioactive food and being forced to make camp on land filled with toxic chemicals dumped by some greedy, evil corporation!

Haven’t been to CA since 1986, but what I see on TV does not look good, mainly third world living conditions or becoming third world till the house flippers show up and polish the turd in a turd world neighborhood.

“places that look like a solid waste disposal site, with a creek flowing through it.”

I can think of many locations/towns/cities/states that meet that description...

I’m here in Sacramento.
The City sends out the welcome wagon for homeless in their every action.
Every law that the police used to employ to deal with the problem is either declared unconstitutional, or ordered not enforced by the Mayor, County Board etc.

This is not San Francisco, and eventually the people here will get fed up and demand action. Or, take action on their own.

Our small town has lovely park and hospital built on the banks of a pretty creek

Scratch the surface of the son and you’re into a 150 year old landfill

We’ve found a few cool old bottles doing excavating in the area
