[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1207594, member: 5412"] I have somewhat of an issue with the "mercury" thing. I do stack emissions testing for a big Okla Utility as part of my job. Two years ago, the EPA came out with a ruling that said "mercury" was an issue, and by a certain date, all coal plants would be required to monitor and controll the "mercury emissons". We spent millions of dollars putting in testing systems, and monitoring the emissions, reporting them along with the people that manufacture the equipment. After two years, the EPA, abandoned the quest as the emissions were so low as to not be an issue. Then all of a sudden, we come out with these new guidelines. Where is the mercury coming from?? It can't be from Coal plants, or else Keystone at Tulsa is not involved?? They are directly down stream from Kaw??? If Kaw is a Drop-out (carried in the river current and dropped out and retained in the lake) where is it coming from?? I need to obtain a copy of the ruling, as it was stated the testing was going on for two years previous to now?? If blues from Kaw are so deadly to eat, when are the people eating them all of the time (me) going to die from mecury poisoning?? there are set medical limits of how much the human body can absorb, retain and then die. I haven't seen these posted, and I've been looking really hard. So let me think about this another way....the Blues and sandbass in kaw can't be eaten, but there is no warning for those caught below the dam, or any where below the dam in the river?? I'm starting to smell rotten fish....... This sounds like another way to get Cap and Tax passed???? [/QUOTE]
