New EPA Rules to Allow More Insufficiently Treated Sewage To Be Dumped in Coastal Waters

"Currently, sewer operators are allowed to blend partially treated sewage only in extreme cases, such as hurricanes and tropical storms, and when there is no feasible alternative, such as adding more capacity to handle sewage or storing it until it can be fully treated. The new policy will allow plants to dump partially treated sewage anytime it rains or snows." - excerpt from the article at http://www.enn.com/aff.html?id=252
