Reply to comment by BirdPeckOfPower in [Baltimore Sun] 🚨East Palestine, Ohio wastewater won't be treated at Baltimore company following rejection from Mayor Brandon Scott's administration.🚨 by z3mcs

The same Back River that had a random explosion a few weeks back? They’re collocated on that property? Which we should have total faith in?

I don’t think so. And clearly, neither does the bulk of the local community.

So they didn’t have a random explosion a few weeks back at the facility, and haven’t had a string of problems?

Proud ignorance, indeed.

It’s not the same facility as the one that had the explosion. Really not that difficult.

And the explosion was also not related to DPW. It was in a building rented by Synagro, related to Synagro's conversion process.

I've already commented that to this person in another thread, they are just hell bent on creating their own narrative.

I've already addressed your comments in the other thread, you didn't respond.

You're clearly not interested in the facts, just your own narrative.

I’m going to rest satisfied in knowing that those who kowtow to corporate interests and make excuses for facilities with abysmal track records didn’t get their way this time.

More like kowtowing to the ignorant masses.

That statement definitely gives away your general perspective, that’s for sure.

They're giving you actual facts, and you're just throwing a mindless temper tantrum, ignoring reality itself, because you can't muster the integrity to simply say "I was wrong". Absolutely fucking pathetic

Oh, you changed my mind! I’m calling the Mayor’s office to tell them to take in the toxic water now. Thank a million for shifting my perspective!

Holy hell, I agree with you but you really are missing the point. The water would have been treated at a separate facility operated by a separate entity. That facility just happens to be on the same property as the abysmally run treatment plant.

I’m not missing the point, you are. The community has no reason to trust that Back River is even in a position to competently evaluate and deal with the treated water they receive from Clean Harbors. Period. We need to be able to trust the public authority to do their part of the job. Do I think Clean Harbors should be trusted without any additional, trustworthy verifications being done by authorities beholden to the public? No. And neither do the many people who objected to this.
