Wait, they have to weigh the option of having their rivers poisoned? How about just rejecting it out right?
I forget what state this was in but they allowed pork farmers to dump pig effluent into the local rivers. This killed many fish and local wildlife. Why a state's local EPA chapter would allow such blatant environmental hazards to happen is beyond me.
It's Ohio, a purple state with a red map thanks to years of the legislature thumbing its nose at the state supreme court, so the state's EPA is going to protect Ohio's corporations rather than its citizens.
