Florida moves to curb ocean sewage dumping



By Tom Brown

MIAMI (Reuters) - The sun-drenched beaches of southeast Florida lure tourists from all over the world. But few of them may realize that a torrent of human waste is dumped silently every day into the seemingly pristine waters offshore.

Every day, three densely populated counties pump into the Atlantic Ocean a total of at least 300 million gallons of partially treated urban waste water, too polluted even for watering lawns.

...

Bowing to pressure from environmental groups, the Florida Senate recently passed a bill backed by Gov. Charlie Crist that would eventually shut down six pipes that carry waste water into the Atlantic from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The state House of Representatives is expected to clear the bill later this month.

But Janet Llewellyn, head of water resource management at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, acknowledges that it will likely take 16 more years before the pipes are totally closed, at an estimated cost of up to $3 billion.

3. Considering that those counties have water shortages,

they should be processing and reusing the water. Maybe they could start algae farms and grow their own biodiesel as part of the process.

4. Funny coincidence,

Just before I saw this thread, I was looking at a photo of a 2-headed red eared slider turtle, which are native in the south. Not saying there is a connection, but who knows?

5. Come try the wonderful Gulf coast. You will not believe all the

crap that washes up from Mexico dumping their "stuff" into it.
