High school cheerleader car wash violates environmental laws

It was a tounge in cheek comment. He got it and explained the pitiful amount of rain that made the grass green but didn’t make any puddles in the lake.

Empty lakes make me sad.

Your lake needs to be mowed.

The truly interesting thing is that since we've banned detergents from going into the ocean, marine productivity has fallen. You should see the difference between tide pools from when I was a kid and today; there's no comparison.

If you feed the base of the food chain, you get more food.

go to a designated neighborhood car wash

Is that Federally designated or State?

OMG, we used to wash our cars down at the branch,
you could take a bath at the same time.

“Besides the soap runoff problem - they also waste water. My city has banned these for many years now....Soooo..the city is getting a kickback from the car washes in the area, right? Or haven’t you looked into that? Somebody pays for the water, the the soap is, by regulation, biodegradable and what is the problem?”

Biodegradable doesn’t matter to EPA, it’s still a “pollutant”. Even rocks and heat are pollutants in their regulation. Anything you can put into a stream is illegal except pure water, and then the water has to be the same temperature as the stream, or you have violated the law. You can look it up.

Car washes are illegal everywhere, including your own car in your own paved driveway, if the water runs into a storm drain. EPA can arrest anyone who violates the rule, anytime they feel like it. They just don’t feel like it right now. But wait, they will.

Oh, and those commercial car washes? If they are done by the EPA book, they have to recycle and re-use their wash water, plus any waste water has to be clean or they have to pay to dump it into the sanitary sewer, a very expensive process. If there is a car wash near you that is not following these rules, they just have not been located and fined by the EPA yet.

Whaddaya think this is, a free country??
