This West Coast thing will NEVER stop and SOON itll spreading to every state!

[Ornery Cuss]

Soon ? no its already in other states moving forward

There was some mention by the EPA in TV commercials here in the San Francisco bay area recently of one of the largest mercury mines in the states, that the EPA was going to attempt clean up during the drought, and stated they will never be able to totally clean the site which is now a state park.
No Sheit Sherlock....idiots its naturally occurring mineral deposited in the hill side and will seep out forever

One of the small creeks that a friend frequents, he found someone's snuffer bottle and a small vial of mercury
More idiots that dont help the cause any

Will it ever stop ? Not likely
