This is the sort of thing the EPA and infrastructure bills should be focused on.
Far more damaging than CO2 which globally, no one is going to do anything meaningful about.
We knew this pipe was a potential problem a decade ago.

2/21/24..."EPA announces $124M for Maryland drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater Infra-
structure upgrades as part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda"...then President Trump used DOGE to severely cut back on those projects. Own your vote...and next time, use a little Critical Thinking while expanding your information sources.

-------------------
Sewer systems, especially those that handle a combination of wastewater and stormwater, often overflow during heavy rains. The problem is exacerbated by population growth that's straining aging infrastructure. Climate change is also a factor, Maguire says, because as temperatures rise, storms dump more rain in shorter periods of time, overwhelming sewer and stormwater systems.
"The intensity is a really important part of it," Maguire says, adding: "It is absolutely a climate problem that will continue to get worse."

And oil pipelines, and air quality, water quality, food quality…. Why limit

I know, businesses need the freedoms to grow and do whatever they can to create jobs opportunities.
