Still no mention in Wheeling "news"papers (0.00 / 0)

But that would require Mike Myer and Ogden Nutting telling the truth rather than their truthiness.

well (1.00 / 1)

if the total dissolved solids which allegedly caused the alge bloom are otherwise within limits, and the experts say that limiting discharge to the winter months when the alge will not bloom, then whats the problem?

the law... (4.00 / 1)

Funny how you are willing to give Consol the benefit of the doubt to continue breaking the law--their TDS discharges are in violation of set regulatory limits--but you put the word "allegedly" in front of a well established fact that these algae blooms can only occur at high TDS levels.

Someone with the ability to reflect for just a moment on what is written in the sentence: "if the total dissolved solids which allegedly caused the alge bloom are otherwise within limits, and the experts say that limiting discharge to the winter months when the alge will not bloom, then whats the problem?" might find the answer to the question within the question.

(Hint: which limits? The legal limits, or just the ones that we know led to millions and millions and millions and millions and... of dollars of damage.)
