Don't believe that the EPA does not have a say in the spills of Baltimore. They are currently forcing the city to spend around $1 billion for sewage system upgrades. This all takes time and won't be completed until sometime in 2009, but every project has a mandatory completion date and the EPA fines the city big time for every day beyond that. As for the spills that you speak of, that's just what the media gets wind of. To my knowledge, there are over a dozen places along the Jones Falls up to the pump station at Ash Street where they have "emergency" sewage overflows dumping into the river. This occurs basically every time that it rains. The City of Baltimore has many common sewers still in service that carry storm drainage along with sanitary sewer. This is what causes the "spills". The other side of that coin is that since these peak flows are mostly storm runoff, the actual amount of harmful sewage is very low in concentration even before it is combined with the emense flow of the river during storm conditions. Nonetheless, I wouldn't want to swim in it.
