  6. EPA moves to designate microplastics and pharmaceuticals as contaminants in drinking water

    But, as #MAHA folks noted: "Maha leaders, farmers and organizations told Zeldin in a letter on Tuesday to tackle the health impacts of pesticides, plastics and Pfas chemicals."

  7. "About 12 percent of Monterey County’s oil and gas wells are located within 200 feet of a river or creek. This includes the Salinas River, which runs through the San Ardo oil field, and is a critical source of the county’s groundwater.

    "In December 2025, over 4,000 gallons of oil and toxic wastewater spilled in the San Ardo oil field, just over a mile from where the Sargent Creek feeds the Salinas River. It is unconfirmed whether that spill was connected to an active or idle well.”

  8. Shark attacks and wastewater management practices

    "...The warnings for swimming water quality and shark safety were now effectively the same. If it’s poor water, if it looks dodgy, if it smells a bit off, don’t go in, because it’s not good. You could pick up a waterborne disease, but you could also become prey for a shark.” >>

    [I still remember a talk that @RelaenaSindelar gave about pharmaceuticals in the waste stream; one of her examples was Sequim, WA - in the banana belt - with retirement communities' flushed medications’ and the downstream/coastal effects - NOT the Grand Canyon! :( ]
