Little River, TX | Wonder where this will surface in the long tirade.
Answer all the way to the back of the bus!
It is interesting to read the Party line that phsophates drifts off into the water systems, all on it's own.
Now one is thinking of the old farm stead locations with it's small plot of truly excessive phosphate, and the livestock kept in confinement have been gone for 50 years. It really requires a unique set of coincidences to have phosphate move in the soil in solution.
Politically correct party lines can result in some funny conclusions.
Here we had a foreigner working on a project at the local research center. One of his projects was to measure the level of phsophates in the Leon River system.
His conclusion was the few dairies in the water shed was the problem. No mention of the Water Quality Board's on going inspection to insure that all water that was free to move, stayed with the confines of the dairies.
There was zero mention of the 40 some odd municipal water waste facilities that dumped into the water shed. Never occurred to him that all the homes in the system used high phsophates washing detergent for their laundry. None of the Waste Facilities remove dissolved phosphate fro the waste water.
This river feeds water into the Belton Lake, (artificial), and he was puzzled that the water going into the lake has way more dissolved phosphate than what went out the gate. Never noticed the entire area mostly lime rock. My conjecture is the phosphate combined with the calcium from the lime rock to form rock phosphate which is definitely not soluble. That artificial lake may some day be a source of rick phosphate for the organic gardeners to apply to their 8 pH garden plots. **********
