I have never understood the property owner that is fortunate enough to have secured a little piece of heaven only to crap in it! Secondly, I have never understood why our civic leaders can not say no to developers and businesses that crap in it and then make money off it. This may be simple minded thinking but I think we must learn how to keep things simple- you can use it but if you abuse it you will lose it...
A dozen or so projects were just approved for BP Restore Act funds - millions of dollars benefiting our environment, citizens and tourists. If none of those funds are going towards removing septic tanks, the least we can do is require septic tank owners remove their septic tanks from places where unsuspecting tourists are being poisoned. No doubt many of these septic tank owners are making a lot of money renting to tourists. The same tourists they are poisoning.
