The toxic brew of chemicals and human waste in the New Orleans floodwaters will have to be pumped into the Mississippi River or Lake Pontchartrain, raising the specter of an environmental disaster on the heels of Hurricane Katrina, experts say.

Maybe they should just leave it in the streets of New Orleans until suitable treatment facilities can be constructed.

The dire need to rid the drowned city of water could trigger fish kills and poison the delicate wetlands near New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the Mississippi.


Its very possible that had they spent the $200 million on the levees as requested, all of this could have been avoided.
