I was just using that as an example. You are wrong about having “no known pollutants,” though. Pollutants need to be below some agreed-upon level, so they exist but in theory should be below harmful levels.
There can be a perceived difference between industrial chemical wastewater and household wastewater and that’s what I was getting at. One is far riskier for a “spill” accident, and more rigorous prevention measures may need to be discussed upfront. The article didn’t differentiate which it’s going to be.
I feel like by not differentiating, the article may be somewhat sensationalized. Without knowing which it is, I’m left wondering.
- mlindner 3y agoThe term chemical wastewater generally sounds like it's generated by some kind of chemical process as a byproduct. In this case though there is nothing chemical happening to this waste water. It comes in via trucks and is then pumped back out again.
- pnpnp 3y agoI’m just saying is that it’s very unclear from the article.
