I would have thought there would be some sort of material
hazardous spill response teams can put on a fuel oil or diesel spill
to absorb the smelly petroleum.
Apparently not.
Perhaps my frustration stems from "expecting" too much.
No one has yet reported where this fuel oil is coming from.
Why, we have to wait a week before Fox10 gets
the testing lab report to find out what the substance is.
A clean up worker saw me taking photos and asked, "You Gonna Sue Em?"
Why would he ask that? Because that is Mobile mentality.
Can't win the lottery? Hire a lawyer.
For you City of Mobile people reading my Ugly rants, fret not.
I have no intent to sue the City's WAVE Transit Facility for violations of the Clean Water Act.
That is what Mobile Baykeeper and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management are for.
I only observe and report and ask questions.
Why is there still petroleum flowing down the ditch along the WAVE Transit facility?
Why is the City's WAVE Transit property lined with litter?
Who is monitoring the sediment pollution in Montlimar Creek?
Does the City of Mobile not care about the Environment?
Apparently Not.
