The 'Solution' to pollution is Still 'Dilution'

This article was written to inform readers of how big companies continue to pollute our local rivers, lakes and streams despite the Clean Water Act that was passed thirty years ago. They use a loophole called "mixing zones" to dilute the water so the pollution is less concentrated. Small organizations are fighting to get rid of the mixing zones. The mixing zones process "bioaccumulative chemicals of concern." The EPA promised to discontinue the mixing zone process within ten years.
The article was written ten years ago so by now mixing zones should be out of existence. The Campaign to Safeguard Americas Waters(C-SAW) is a project devoted to cleaning up americas waters and to this day they continue to fight the good fight.
