I meant much more specifically...
Several industry polluters in the Dallas area have been cited heavily in the last 30 years for dumping untold amounts of contaminants into the Trinity River which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
The San Jacinto river in the Houston area always has a stench.
Buffalo Bayou being the headwaters for the Houston Ship Channel is beyond help.
Every waterway in the Houston area wreaks of pollutants. Downstream is Texas City & Galveston, certainly no poster children for environmental purity.
And last, but certainly the heaviest hitter is an area known as Bolivar Roads Anchorage at the mouth of the Galveston Bay area. There, tankers go to take on ballast, lay at anchor & allow the waves to slosh the cleaning chemicals in their tanks. Once done they open the valves & into the water the waste goes.
It is quite pathetic to see this happening all around us. Those of you who live in still clean areas should be thankful & bask in it.
