Members Wart 57 Posted July 16, 2015 Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 A few years ago I was involved in a project with City of Springfield waste water treatment department and a large engineering firm from Kansas City. The money to provide treatment of wastewater during heavy rain is not forthcoming from taxpayers who, understandably, do not want to pay higher taxes. While some capacity was ultimately added at the SW treatment plant it is the proverbial thumb in a crumbling dike. When the system is overwhelmed the storm water AND the black water are dumped, untreated, into tributaries of the James River. Fished Flat Creek and the James around point 15 Wednesday. No bass to be had. What I did notice was the ugly nasty green water color . This has been going on for a while in this area. Did not look fish healthy at all . Any other reports ?

Browning Guy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Browning-- aren't you supposed to be working??? We don't pay you to stay on the internet all day!!! Careful, I will spill the beans on the brush piles. Heaven knows I never get to fish anymore and might as well share the knowledge! I'm on my lunch break (30 minute, unpaid).
