Topic	East Palestine's wastewater is flooding into this Ohio community
BewmHedshot 10/11/23 12:59:00 PM #6:	brestugo posted... IIRC, the groundwater in Ohio is already full of all kinds of shit from decades of heavy manufacturing and "business friendly" regulation. Nixon - not exactly an environmentalist - was basically forced to create the EPA after the Cuyahoga river caught fire in the 1970s. That's the popular legend, but it wasn't quite that simple. There had been fires on the Cuyahoga for 100 years at that point, all the way back to 1868, and the 1969 fire was relatively small and put out in 30 minutes or so. No one even got a photo of it, but Time and National Geographic covered the story and it got national news for the first time. <cite>BewmHedshot posted [p:976598382] in East Pales...
