Apparently the strong currents in Juan de Fuca Strait 'take care' of it. I suppose if it was a real problem the Yanks would be screaming.

Perhaps connect the intakes to a new line. But they took the quick, dirty and cheap solution.
It's a four hundred year old city. A big part of it dates from the 19th century. Talk about your crumbling infrastructure ....
If you were a fish you might not feel the same way. Read how Environment Canada defines a deleterious(sp?) substance.
It's called containment. In this case really big containment.Not technically difficult but expensive.
That is simply an excuse. Should have invested in infrastructure instead of language police. THere are all kinds of things that can be done. Often old pipes can be relined without even digging them up. Hell I'm working on a tunnel project that will eventually do a raise bore 150 meters out in a lake.
Don't really need to hit the Bow for that when all you need to do to view, first hand, this experiment is to visit any creek or river upstream of the developments in the Athabasca oilsands in AB or Sask.
.... But then again, I'm wasting my time trying to communicate with a fanatical ideologue such as yourself
Well said... Too bad that your concise logic is wasted on an ideologue
Actually you have a point there. If you think about it for a minute humans originally ate that sh*t.
That has nothing to do with what Ski said.
Spin doctor, spin.
Must be why Coderre was whining about the updated Fisheries Act.
Spin doctor, spin, lol.
1, The Mississippi. Here, just read this and stop embarrassing yourself a little.
2, The mouth of the Black River on Lake Simcoe can not be dredged, due to the contamination of massive amounts of human waste stored in the sediment. Some 20 years after the treatment plant breach.
Studies have shown treated effluent still contains contaminants that find their way into both fish and sediment.
I can only imagine what untreated sweage carries with it to sediment beds.
In 2013, after a massive rain fall knocked out power and overwhelmed the system.
You should stick to pretending to be something special.
Oh yes I DO know! I was raised on an old fashioned farm with no hydro, no indoor plumbing and certainly no sewers.
We had a dug well in our front yard and an outhouse in the back. And a manure pile in the barnyard too.
As did every other farm.
The townspeople all had outhouses too.
The real problem is overpopulation in the whole world. Too many people pooping and taking drugs that pollute the water systems and affect the marine life. The drugs and chemicals are more harmful than natural poop.
I wouldn't even respond to a post like that - just a classic example of crass ignorance.
If you took just a short moment to educate yourself, you wouldn't look like such a fool.
I clearly indicated upstream of any O&G developments, specifically intended to motivate low-info folks (such as yourself) to consider that large amounts of bitumen and oil are naturally leaking into the Athabasca and every other river and creek in the area.
... Go figure that the only take-away for you was that big, mean ole oil companies were polluting the river by virtue of releasing 100s of millions of liters per day of raw sewage - opps, scratch that, oil into the rivers
You will find measurable amounts of pharmaceuticals in any body of water downstream of a waster water treatment plant... Kinda creepy really
.. More than just cry... He'll howl like a banshee
