These are your Good Neighbors who ignore litter on their property
in violation City of Mobile Municipal Code which is not being enforced.
Some of the litter from your Good Neighbor properties ends up polluting Mobile's waterways.
MOBILE CITY CODE >> Chapter 25 - GARBAGE, LITTER AND LOT MAINTENANCE >> ARTICLE II. - LITTER >> Section 25-36 (a) "It shall be the duty of every occupant of any commercial premises in the city limits to keep the adjacent and surrounding area clear and free of litter." Underlining is my emphasis and not in the existing code.

MOBILE CITY CODE >> Chapter 25 - GARBAGE, LITTER AND LOT MAINTENANCE >> ARTICLE II. - LITTER >> Section 25-36 (a) "It shall be the duty of every occupant of any commercial premises in the city limits to keep the adjacent and surrounding area clear and free of litter." Underlining is my emphasis and not in the existing code. Here is some documentation of violations of City of Mobile Municipal Code. These are your Good Neighbors who ignore litter on their property. Some of the litter from your Good Neighbor properties ends up polluting Mobile's waterways. I checked out some of the usual Ugly places in Mobile and there has been no change. We have the technology to put remote control Rovers on Mars, Man on the Moon, and to take photos from Space with so much detail it is unbelievable, but we don't have the sense to use any of that technology to put 24 hour video cameras in a few choice locations to capture video evidence of who is trashing Mobile. There are no painful punishments to deter breaking laws. So, society will continue to do whatever they want because there is no room left in the prisons. Well, another month has gone by. Time to see if any of the Good Neighbors who own waterfront property in the Three Mile Creek watershed have removed the litter from their property yet. No change. The storm water litter in Three Mile Creek watershed gets denser. No one is removing the garbage. The City of Mobile doesn't care. The County of Mobile doesn't care. The State of Alabama doesn't care. ADEM doesn't care. The Governor doesn't care. If they cared, the trash would not have been allowed to rot in the water for 2 years. Local environmental groups are sleeping when it comes to water pollution (except for Dog River Clearwater Revival). NONE of the waterfront property owners care enough to remove trash from their property. Yea boy, fill Mobile's precious waterways with illegal public garbage, some toxic, and let it rot. The Federal Clean Water Act is really effective in Alabama eh? Hahaha! This afternoon parts of Mobile had heavy rain. In the area upstream of the City's sole litter trap, namely the Malls, there was only about an inch of rain over a two hour period - NOT a very heavy rain at all upstream of the litter trap, yet, even in light rain the City of Mobile's litter trap failed again. The poorly designed DESMI litter trap will probably never capture more than a single litter basket of litter and debris from Eslava Creek because the litter basket fails to rise when the storm waters do. The DESMI litter trap Boom goes under water and most of the trash floats right on downstream. During really heavy rains, when the storm water litter is the worst, the entire litter basket goes under water allowing ALL the trash to float downstream. The City of Mobile knows their litter trap fails because it is well documented. What is the City of Mobile's back up plan to get the storm water litter removed from Dog River when the litter trap malfunctions? No plan. The City ignores trash in their creeks and along the shorelines - even along their City Parks like Dog River Park. Someone STILL needs to be fired! Doing nothing to reduce the amount of trash rotting in and along many of Mobile's waterways is still unacceptable. Fines for violating the Clean Water Act can be up to $37,000 per day. $37,000 per day is what the Alabama Department of Environmental Management should be fining the City of Mobile for every day that the City has no one working to remove their storm water ditch generated garbage. The consequence to ineffective upstream filtering of the litter from storm water is garbage rotting in the water and along the shorelines, like here at the City of Mobile's Dog River Park. The City of Mobile refuses to remove Dog River Park storm water litter. Hey, I suspect it is the City's way of telling Dog River Clearwater Revival (the group who sued the City for $50,000,000 because of excessive storm water litter) to go screw itself because the City isn't going to do anything about storm water litter in Dog River. Never has - Never will. |
