I'm indifferent to your indifference. If Mad Creek were the towns water supply we would have been in trouble long before Hienz little incident here. Go smoke another doobie and let the carcinagens from the smoke repair the ozone layer.

In

my opinion. Spilling some barbecue sauce in a creek is the least worries for our environment. The creek is too shallow to support fish that far up so what's going to be lost? A few crayfish, tadpoles, and minnows?

check you facts

Yes heinz did have a spill into Mad Creek. One of their machines malfunctioned and the end result was the sauce being pulled out through roof vents onto the roof which than ran into the gutters and downspouts and into the creek. They don't have drains thatrun into mad creek it ran into the creek from the downspouts just like normal rain would.

Heinzs' roof drains actually do drain directly into a storm sewer, that drains directly into the creek. Take a walk up the creek sometime, right off the southeast corner of Heinz's fence, there is a big iron cover that covers the storm sewer pipe outfall opening. That is where the sauce was entering the creek yesterday. I was there to see it in person, and this is not the first time, nor just the second time it's happened over the years.
