Comment online since May 21st 2008Where are the toxins coming from? My guess is the sewer treatment plant in the area. Now if this is the case they should be responsible for the lost wages that are made on these parts of the beaches.I know if my sewer over flowed or leaked onto somebodys property I would responsible for the clean up and whatever other cost that would be involved.These type of people will definitly find a way to cover up the truth to protect their pockets while others will have to suffer. I have to laugh, close the beach for 3 weeks and hope it disapears, it's not that easy.
