08/29/2012 - No Solution to Dog River Pollution

Fox 10 TV did a report about Dog River residents being concerned that tropical storm Isaac will generate excess trash which they will have to pick up. I never see any reporters out on the water to get the real story. April, here is what Dog River looked like today: TRASHED. Welcome to Mobile, home of the Bay Pigs. It has been over a year and the shoreline has yet to be cleaned. Much of the trash in these photos is over a year old.

When the water recedes from this storm, many residents will be facing the task of removing yet another ring of the public's trash from their property. This is just the visible trash. The smell of raw sewage was strong up near Eslava Creek. Rain storms usually generate hidden health hazards like e-coli.

Some of the river litter served as a safe haven for critters flooded out of their home.

Holy crap. A porta-potty floating down the street.
