I claim that my boat is in the most polluted boat slip on the entire Anacostia River - the Nation's Capital's most polluted river, on the entire East Coast and the World. Directly downstream from DC's combined sewer-storm water system discharge pipes, rainstorms over 1" move raw sewage, street trash, and runoff from over-fertilized lawns - on top of the historical toxic PCB wastes buried in the Anacostia River mud (directly across the river from the Anacostia National Park). Well, doesn't this take the prize by a huge yuck factor?

  • From a combined sewer and storm water system 1/4 mile upstream flow about 1 billion gallons/year (a 1” rainfall causes an overflow); Decades-old layers of PCBs are in the muck below; I don’t have “standing” to win a consent decree to get required cleanup.
