The DC Sewage Spill May Be Over, But the Smell Lingers

 Bay Journal, Environmental fallout, lawsuits stalk Potomac River after sewage spill

More than five months after millions of gallons of untreated sewage spilled into the Potomac River, aftershocks continue. Litigation, emergency repairs and a major leadership shakeup have followed in the wake of the Jan. 19 rupture of the Potomac Interceptor sewage pipe near in Montgomery County, MD. As much as 300 million gallons of sewage spewed from the 6-foot-wide pipe into the Potomac River for about a week before it was stopped.

In April, the U.S. Department of Justice and Maryland’s attorney general announced separate legal actions on the same day against DC Water, the pipe’s owner. The lawsuits seek financial penalties and restoration of the spill site. In June, the Potomac Riverkeeper Network filed motions to intervene in both cases. “We at PRKN had long feared that this disaster was not an accident. It was a failure of decision-making, accountability, and urgency,” said PRKN president Betsy Nicholas.

Also in June, DC Water’s board removed the utility’s chief, David Gadis. The utility has faced intense scrutiny from Congress and the public over years of permitting delays that pushed back the replacement of that section of pipe before its collapse.

Work is expected to continue into late summer on the first phase of the environmental cleanup, which includes removing contaminated soil from the C&O Canal. During the pipe’s repairs, the historic canal was used as a bypass for an estimated 2 billion gallons of sewage. The second phase is expected to be completed in the fall. That includes replanting trees and shrubs, regrading wetlands, repairing the canal’s clay liner and adding topsoil.

The January spill didn’t impact drinking water because it happened downstream from the region’s intake pipes. But subsequent surveys conducted by DC Water crews have revealed deteriorating segments in Potomac, MD, upstream of withdrawal pipes — prompting immediate repairs on the 1,700-foot section of line, expected to be done in September.

Boating charters and outfitters report a sharp decline in business on the Potomac because of bad publicity over the spill. The Potomac Conservancy has called on the area’s congressional representatives to offer them economic assistance.

Under pressure from environmental groups, DC Water has committed to extend daily water-quality testing through at least the end of July. It had previously planned to transition to weekly testing beginning on July 5. Groups continue to push for the utility to do the daily testing through the summer season.

Recent spikes in E. coli levels at three testing sites downstream from the spill location have prompted calls for DC Water to investigate what’s going on.

I'll bet that was right after one of our recent storms. That never fails to raise the E. coli levels. 

Flotsam and Jetsam - A Funny Thing Happened in DC

Streiff at RedState observes Hundreds of Patriot Front Demonstrators Hit DC's July 4 Celebration and Minds Are Blown "Allegedly, Patriot Front is a Texas-based White nationalist group classified as such by the ADL and SPLC. It was created in the run-up to the infamous 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. A teenager named Thomas Ryan Rousseau executed a coup d’etat inside the “Vanguard America” organization by seizing its website and Discord server and declaring himself the Obergruppenführer, or whatever. After the rally, which we now know was organized and subsidized by the “anti-hate” group Southern Poverty Law Center (see SPLC Funneled $270K Cash to Charlottesville Hoax Rally Planner — ‘Manufacturing Racism’ – RedState), Rousseau rebranded the group as the “Patriot Front.” Here at RedState, we have noticed some peculiarities about this organization." RazörFist @RazorFist, "Reminder: Patriot Front were one of many "right-wing" organizations we recrntly learned the Southern Policy Law Center had funded. You guys can ditch the faggy gimp mask and buy a second outfit now." Quote Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas "White nationalists are marching down the streets of Washington, D.C. on America's 250th." John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte @NolteNC, "It’s simple logic… In the same we know the moon landing was real because of it weren’t, the Russians would’ve said so, if these were actual right wingers, the corporate media would have doxxed them by now." Quote Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee, "Patriot Front: Brought to you by leftists who don’t know that patriots don’t wear masks." Seattle Extremist @SeattleIndepen1, "How do you know Patriot Front is fake? If they were legit, the media would be in a feeding frenzy to find out who is funding them, there would be endless efforts to infiltrate with hidden cameras to capture compromising and embarrassing conversations, relentless efforts to dox members. There isn’t. Which means it’s a protected psyop." PoIiMath @politicalmath, "Patriot Front is a funny organization b/c left-wingers are like "these are the racists you support" & the right-wingers I know are like "go ahead and arrest them all"" Quote Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran, "1/10 Want to know how they quickly got 400 makes extremists in DC? It's because many of them are Republican staffers." Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson, "This black lady must feel extremely safe surrounded by dozens of federal agents."

Atop Da Hill Jonathan Turley observes that 8 years after Kavanaugh, Democrats have stopped believing all women. They never really did; it was always selective. Althouse finds Dirtbagism.

At Hat Hair, Mark Judge observes The Left Covers for Graham Platner and Dave Strom sees The Irony of Graham Platner's Campaign. Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC, "The guy who divorced his wife when she was 9 months pregnant has some thoughts on Graham Platner’s sexts," Quote Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur, "Sen.

Liz Mair @LizMair, "My grandfather never physically injured my grandmother in the course of an altercation. He served in WWII.

Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze, "It's not that hard. The left lets institutions and communities break down to a point of total degradation to prove why more government and non profits are the answer. The goal is to purposely not solve problems and make life and safety worse. See the entire defund the police movement and homelessness nonprofits in California. Gavin Newson promised to end homelessness and instead it ballooned on purpose. This is why there was such enormous flip out over Trump renovating the reflecting pool or spencer Pratt's campaign. Once people realize that things can be improved a lot of nonprofits and public union/money dries up. ... Because once an AI is programmed to tell people that boys can become girls it's the death of truth. Data centers being built isn't the problem, the data in those data centers is." Quote David Sacks @DavidSacks "While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right. The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations...

Alexandra Jacobs is wrong about murmuration. It is not just a collection of starlings, which on the ground would be a flock, but an aerial mass movement of starlings, where they swirl together. That's what happens when literary folk attempt to feign knowledge of biology. It's not clear from the quote how Jill used the word, so I won't cast aspersions there.

Beege Welborn, Some of the Congressional Performative Theater at Delaney Hall Is Suddenly Explained UPDATE. WWG1WGA @WWG1WGA_QQ, " HOLY CRAP! VP JD Vance just UNLEASHED on Democrats for their violent rhetoric against ICE and law enforcement, calls out Gavin Newsom BY NAME. "YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL, and you have NO PLACE in the political conversation in the United States!" "Because HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS! When Democrats like Gavin Newsom say these people are 'part of an authoritarian government.' When they lie about who they're arresting...what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit VIOLENCE." "You don't have to agree with our policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go STRAIGHT TO HELL!" WOW!."

Supervisor Jim Desmond @jim_desmond, "$13.4 million. That's what the proposed County budget spends on lawyers for illegal immigrants fighting deportation. For that same amount, San Diego County could fund hundreds of sheriff's deputies. Dozens of psychiatric beds. Pothole repair across every district. Real help for the homeless veteran sleeping under the overpass tonight. Instead, the Board majority wants to nearly triple a program that started at $5 million just three years ago. A program the County itself confirms has represented dozens of clients with criminal grounds in their case. A county is not the State Department. A county is not an immigration court. A county exists to keep streets safe, roads paved, and the most vulnerable residents cared for. This is not our job. It never was." Matt Vespa thinks House Dems Thought This Tweet Was a Banger. It Backfired Epically.

The Virginia Pilot reports a Judge says Kennedy Center board broke law putting Trump’s name on building, blocks closure.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump is Cleaning Up and Beautifying Washington DC

... in anticipation of the 250th anniversary, and Democrats can't stand it. Apparently dirt and bums are what the city ought to look like.  Don Surber, Making DC worthy of our greatness. 

People outside of DC don’t realize what a transformation this is. Union Station used to be packed with drugged out zombies shambling around screaming at passersby, and barefoot, piss-soaked homeless people passed out on the floor. Columbus Circle right outside used to be a gross… https://t.co/THnYayRwVb pic.twitter.com/QtDKrsiKoF

Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "More fascism" Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "Trump just restored Columbus Circle in DC. It hasn't flowed in 2 decades." At Althouse, "But blue is a color we associate with injury: Think of the mottled black and blue of a bruise. It is the color of authority and stereotypical masculinity..." ""... of depression, but also tranquility; of cleanliness; of cold; of winning first prize. And so we must ask: What is American Flag Blue?" I'm reading "Did Trump pick the right blue for the Reflecting Pool? We asked a pool guy. Old Glory Blue? American Flag Blue? Let’s reflect on all the shades, while a federal judge mulls 'aesthetic injury' in the president’s latest decorating flourish" (WaPo). Also Althouse, "Trump administration officials have pressed the office responsible for printing the nation’s money to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait..." "... according to four current and former employees, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years.... The employees spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. The Washington Post reports. Gift link." I don't think it will happen. I believe it's "stray voltage", an outrageous idea floated to keep libs distracted.

Beege Welborn at Hat Hair noticed It Was Scott Bessent's Turn Behind the Press Podium and Oh, My. From Ace, Judge Clears Way for Trump to Tighten Verification for Mail-In Votes; Scott Bessent Touts New IRS Rules to Identify Antifa's Funders; OMB Director Russ Vought Acts to Make Sure That Federal Grants Go to US Citizens Not Foreigners and Illegal Aliens. Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "WOW! Scott Bessent just revealed the IRS has moved to make NGOs LIABLE for violent activity committed by their grant recipients like Antifa George Soros has been put on NOTICE. "The IRS is now giving guidance on the Form 990, which nonprofits they have to file. We are going to DEMAND that nonprofits know their grant recipients." "So if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people's rights, then YOU are responsible for that." As for the for the investigation into who is funding Antifa terrorism: "We made substantial progress. And I think in the weeks and months ahead, we are going to have a lot to report.""

News Wax shares a Report: Trump Shares Draft Iran Peace Agreement With Israel, Allies. Atop Da Hill, Trump in Iran leaders’ ‘head’ says a Retired US general. WSJ reports on The High-Seas Black Market That Keeps Iran’s Illicit Oil Flowing, "Despite U.S. sanctions, the regime has managed to sell billions of dollars in crude to China using a clandestine network of aging tankers. Our reporters paid a visit." I suspect we're looking the other way for China.

News Wax hears Carney Seeks New US-Canada Partnership to "help make America great again." Fine, but remember, you're the junior partner. Defence24com @Defence24eng, "Guatemala has reportedly agreed to joint military strikes with the U.S. against drug trafficking groups inside its territory. Washington is also reportedly pressuring Honduras as part of a broader regional anti-cartel strategy."

I&I argues Yes, Today’s Gas Prices Are ‘Peanuts’, but it still wouldn't hurt to bring them down.

Matt Vespa at TownHall, Here's What Joe Biden Told Jill After He Got Wrecked by Trump in That Disastrous Debate “I really f**ked up, didn’t I?” Althouse, "As the president walked off the stage, he whispered to his wife, 'I really f**ked up, didn’t I?' she writes. '"Yes, you did,'" I whispered back.'" "I'm reading "5 Revelations From Jill Biden’s Upcoming Memoir" (Intelligencer). I don't believe any of it." And "Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate..." ""... where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards. She said that she thought he was having a 'stroke,' and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do. The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse... Writes Trump, just now, on Truth Social."

Jesse Arm @Jesse_Leg, "This is the best piece yet at distilling what the Spencer Pratt phenomenon is all about. His rise represents the shattering of the honesty taboo in Los Angeles and other poorly governed big blue cities like it." Quote Mike Solana @micsolana, "for people dumbly blinking at the moment while they wonder why pratt is climbing up the polls: he's literally just telling the truth. and in a one-party state, anyone brave enough to break the honesty taboo commands the stage." John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte @NolteNC, "No. What this polls shows is that 1) Pratt ‘s losing the run off, 2) even if he squeaks through the left has 51% of the general election vote. Pratt’s at 22 percent. Love the guy, but he’s at 22 percent." Quote Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "JUST IN: A SHOCK POLL just released finding the LA mayoral race getting RAZOR TIGHT, Karen Bass has only 26% 26%." I can't say I really expect him to win. Even if he had the votes, which I instinctively doubt, they wouldn't let him. But he is making a dent in their armor.

Quote Ian Miller @ianmSC, "Jimmy Kimmel says Spencer Pratt shouldn’t win the LA mayoral election because he doesn’t believe in “climate change” after his house burned down Meanwhile the fire was started by an arsonist and destroyed his house because of widespread LA incompetence." Sarah at Insty, THEY WOULDN’T, WOULD THEY? "Rolling Stone Calls Spencer Pratt the ‘Quintessential American’ and They Didn’t Mean It As a Compliment."

Cathy Salgado at PJM is outraged California Gives Illegal Aliens ‘Free’ Fridges, Solar Panels. Ace, Gavin Newsom: The State Will Tax the Enemies of the Democrat Party at a 100% Rate to Save Democracy, "Seizing the estates of political enemies. Sounds very democracy-savey. He says they will change California law to seize 100% of recompense paid to Californians from the weaponization fund for Biden Regime abuses." Joel Pollak @joelpollak, "“The whole point of the fund is to make victims whole after the federal government was weaponized against political opponents, pro-life activists, and parents at school board meetings, and Newsom never had a problem with any of that weaponization when it was actually happening.” Quote Mike Netter @nettermike "So California Governor Gavin Newsom flew to Washington, took some meetings, hopped on a plane home, and during the flight back he had himself one of those big airplane epiphanies. The kind where a governor decides he is going to act as Congress, the state legislature, and the IRS all at once..." News Wax, Bessent Rips Gov. Newsom's Plan to Tax Trump Fund: 'Stupid'.

Ace sees Fidel Castro's Daughter Doesn't Deny That Blackface-Wearing Gay Canadian Justin Trudeau Might Be Her Bastard Half-Brother. "He looks like Castro, and he's a stone-cold authoritarian communist bitch. Almost as if he was trying to impress the man he knew to be his father. His mother was said to be enamored of Fidel Castro and would visit the country a lot. Whether her cuck husband Pierre Trudeau approved or objected impotently, we don't know. Apparently this rumor has been "debunked." Allegedly Trudeau's mother did not meet Fidel Castro until 1976 -- allegedly -- and Castreau was born in 1971. So this could just be a bunch of hooey. But Castro's own daughter seems to accept the possibility of the "conspiracy theory" being true."

Ace, on DOJ considering perjury charges against E. Jean Carroll, DOJ Now Investigating Obvious Perjurer For, Get This, Obvous Perjury, "My first reaction to hearing about the DOJ investigating the perjurious elderly lunatic whore was negative. I didn't like the "optics" of the DOJ investigating Trump's enemies. But then I remembered the context: The Democrats turned the entire prosecutorial network, state and federal, into a machine for prosecuting Trump and his allies and even the lawyers defending Trump and his allies from their prosecutions. Let me posit: It would be criminal to not use the prosecutorial resources of the country to prosecute Democrats and their lunatic fabulists. We have been told many times that "No one is above the law." Matt Margolis, Now We Know Who Was Really Behind E. Jean Carroll’s Bogus Allegations Against Trump "As PJ Media previously reported, tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, a virulently anti-Trump donor, bankrolled the whole operation. Yet Carroll testified under oath in October 2022 that no one was paying her legal fees, calling it "a contingency case."

Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Uh, Wut? CIA Senior Official Stole $40 Million in GOLD BARS, and That's Not the Worst Part.
