you go to WalMart and there is a haz-mat clean up crew out in the parking lot cleaning something.  They had about 1/4 of the parking lot taped off and were scrubbing and spraying something.  Oh well, at least it wasn't crowded.

Probably just a bag of fertilizer or something in the garden center that broke open.



The ninnies have had multiple conniptions about that stuff going into the sewers

Did a little kid puke in the parking lot?

Some fat old lady probably crapped herself.

Haha. They'll put it on the food we eat, but it's not cool if it gets in our shit.

Those were reflective safety vests, construction workers usually wear them when they seal the asphalt.

No, I saw a truck that said 24 hour haz-mat clean up on it and there were 3 guys in tyvek suits doing the cleaning.  They were scrubbing the area with big brushes and then power washing.

That's because in most areas the storm sewer –– the drains in parking lots, gutters, or streets –– goes directly to the nearest waterway.  And that includes your favorite fishing spot.  If you dump or spill oil or fertilizer or gasoline or pesticides into the storm drain then it's no different than dumping it into the river.



The sanitary sewer –– the drains from toilets, showers, sinks, etc –– is what gets treated.  But even the treatment plant isn't capable of handling hazardous wastes:  If there is too much acid or base or petroleum solvent in the wastewater it will kill the bacteria and throw the plant off line.

Somebody probably dropped a Big Mac.    That shit's deadly.  At the very minimum it causes a severe allergic reaction.    Many people who eat them swell up to gigantic sizes.

Maybe someone dropped one of those "environmentally friendly" compact fluorescent lightbulbs.  The ones with mercury in them.  Really, they are environmentally friendly.

Fertilizer gets poured on the ground often. Then when it rains it goes into rivers, lakes, estuaries, drinking wells, and anywhere else you can think of.

Somebody probably blew up a "shake and bake" bottle of crank.

They buy what they need at the store and make it in the car. Pretty common for them to have an accident in the parking lot.

And steel man hole covers get put in the road.  But the foundry that pours them can't store them outside.  They might rust and the rust will go down the drain.



Government doesn't make sense, it just does what it wants.
