No bake sales, either.

How about a ‘calender’?................

I didn’t know these types of car washes were allowed anywhere anymore.

Besides the soap runoff problem - they also waste water. My city has banned these for many years now.

Must be that evil dihydrogen monoxide pollutant again.
*****************************************
and to think it will be mixed with soap (usually considered to be a fertilizer) and dirt ... terrible stuff.

Let’s see they have outlawed Phosphorus and every other chemical that actually works at getting something clean so what exactly is the problem this time?

If the car-washers were boys, Obamatollah would grant an exemption.

Especially during Ramadan.

Especially during gay pride week.

“Anything that is not storm water or rain water is considered a pollutant,” said Jennie Loft, acting communications manager for San Jose’s Environmental Services Department. “If it goes into a storm drain, that pollutant will harm wildlife and habitats in the creeks.

The Boys Sports teams should hold a Mass Wizz into the storm drains.

The mental image people generally have of totalitarian government is something like Aushwitz or Kolyma or the Killing Fields. Some time before that final solution stage is reached we get to “Simon Sez” government wherein you may do nothing without explicit permission.

Just curious, when it happens to rain on those 500,000 dirty San Jose vehicles where does all that filthy water go?
The city is taking care of that problem as well i imagine, or maybe they should fine or ban god while they are at it.

I HATE Leftists.

Many people are surprised by all this crap. I’m not. I know how they think. They are communists and want to control everything.

Nope it is not the water that is the pollutant, it’s the soap and the runoff from impervious surfaces going into the storm drain system. I live in an area where two major river systems are under serious threats because of urban and agricultural runoff. Diverting runoff into retention ponds or following other practices that minimize or eliminate it all together are not draconian. Now I should mention the main threat our rivers face is because of Army Corps of Engineer’s policy on discharging water from Lake Okeechobee. They of course never have to show the same concern for valuable natural resources as us common folk.

The city in this instance explained how to avoid violating policy and the changes needed are not that drastic, don’t wash cars on the pavement, divert it to a retention area. This is not a case of nonsense rules made to oppress innocent citizens and well intentioned students.

But road oils and grease and other pollutants are okay to run into the sewer system but not soap. Got it.

There are car washes all the time in my city to help pay for gangbangers’ funerals. I’d like to see the Enviro Cops try to shut one down!

So what do they do with their Wastewater Treatment Plant (sewage plant) effluent?

These byzantine regulations don’t just apply to high school sports teams struggling to raise money, but also to individuals who want to give their car a rinse.

Try explaining that to the Mexicans in East San Jose.

These girls just didn’t go about it correctly.

They needed to be doing one of two things:
1. Topless and constantly kissing and rubbing each other.
2. Pay a couple guys to dress in Bikinis and prance around and help.

Either of those would have allowed them to scream LBGT discrimination and the environazis would have slinked away and allowed them to continue.
