almost half a million dollars to maintain
the City of Mobile's Stormwater Management Contract for just ONE year.

According to my calculations,
with that much money, Mobile Group could be employing
at least ten full time Stormwater inspectors
to spend all day going up and down
what few Drainage Ditches there are in Mobile,
especially when it rains,
monitoring the condition of the ditches and pipes
and what comes out of them.
If there was any Storm Water Management
in the City of Mobile drainage system, then...
Sanitary Sewer Overflows would not continue to go unnoticed and unreported.
Petroleum pollution would not continue to go unnoticed and unreported.
Trash Pollution would not continue to go unnoticed and unreported.
Muddy Water Pollution would not continue to go unnoticed and unreported.
Sediment pollution would would not continue to go unnoticed and unreported.
But they do and I'm tired of having to be the one reporting the waterway pollution.
The lucratively paid Mobile Group
should know what is coming out
of the storm water drainage pipes in Mobile
and be addressing the pollution problems.
The seclusive Mobile Group obviously is not monitoring the storm water ditches.
But, maybe ADEM and the City don't require Mobile Group
to monitor what comes out of the storm water ditches
so it isn't a Mobile Group problem.
Meantime, the violations of the Clean Water Act continue unabated.
What a ripoff of taxpayer money.
Seriously, someone should be fired.
