Toxin's on the rise in Chinook in the South Sound

 Me too, especially with the report last year that came out about the chemicals in the reservoirs, like Howard Hanson, the Skook, etc.. Our drinking water is basically contaminated, it's just a matter of how much of it you drink. What's funny is that when the DOE rep told us about the restrictions being lifted on the chemicals proven to cause fish mortality, I asked him why the change in position. He had no intelligible answer other than all environmental protections were being rolled back to aid development activities. Nothing scientific whatsoever, more importance placed on development than clean water.

You three guys are to be commended. I've got neighbors over here that put 300-500 pounds of fertilizer into the lawn every year (one acre lawn). We live about 280 feet above Long Lake so you know where it's going.

Dmanmastertracker:
 That's nuts, I'm surprised he hasn't burned his lawn down to bare mud. If you are bagging your grass you can get away with little nitrogen fertilizer to replace what was lost, but other than that the Sulfates, Phosphates and even too heavy amounts of iron can really do some damage.

ICEMAN:
Sorry to say this, but dont forget the farmers. Wasn't the Palouse the most highly polluted river in the state?

I'm getting a little low on heavy metals..I think I'll cook me up some salmon bellies or a couple pieces of sturgeon should bring my body up to normal levels real quick :P
