EPA issues violation notice to San Francisco
__________________________________________________ __SAN FRANCISCO — The Trump administration ratcheted up its feud with California on Wednesday as the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice accusing San Francisco of violating the federal Clean Water Act.
Last month, President Donald Trump warned of a potential violation notice, saying the city was allowing needles and human waste to go through storm drains to the Pacific Ocean _ an allegation fervently denied by city officials.
The violation notice came in the form of a letter to Harlan Kelly, Jr., general manager of the city’s Public Utilities Commission.
It said the EPA had identified violations in the city and county wastewater treatment and sewer system, including lack of proper operation and maintenance that has allowed raw and partially-treated sewage to flow onto beaches into the ocean and sometimes into streets and homes.
The letter alleged that some discharges contained heavy metals and bacteria and said the city hasn’t kept up proper cleaning, inspection and repair schedules for the system nor properly reported or issued public warnings for sewage diversions.
It’s the latest salvo in a feud between the administration and Democrat-controlled California, which has filed more than 50 lawsuits opposing Trump initiatives on the environment, immigration and health care.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler sent a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom last week alleging waste left by the homeless in big cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles was being improperly handled.
Mayor London Breed said the violation notice contains “mischaracterizations, inaccuracies and falsehoods” and the city’s sewer system is one of the most effective in the country.
“No debris flow out into the (San Francisco) Bay or the ocean,” Breed said in a statement, adding that San Francisco has a multibillion-dollar program to upgrade its sewage treatment system.
“The same Trump EPA that is dismantling environmental protections around the country is now making fraudulent claims about San Francisco’s combined sewer system,” state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said in a statement. He called the notice “a fraudulent political attack on San Francisco by a collapsing administration desperate to rile up its base.”
The EPA notice contained a veiled warning that it retains the option of seeking fines and penalties through administrative, civil or criminal actions over the violations.
Wheeler’s letter to the governor last week didn’t lay out any specifics on possible disciplinary actions, although they could include withholding funds or revoking California's authority to administer federal laws such as the Clean Water Act. The latter would seem highly unlikely, however, because EPA would have to assume the expense of running the programs itself.
In before Back says SF is the cleanest city in the country and everyone else is just jealous.

Viral Video About Eating Babies at AOC Town Hall Was Staged by Pro-Trump Group
LaRouche PAC, a far-right group that supports Donald Trump, has taken credit for trolling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a town hall meeting yesterday. An operative with LaRouche made headlines overnight after standing up at AOC’s town hall in Queens yesterday and saying that humanity should eat babies, among other ridiculous things, to address the climate crisis.
Viral video from the incident shows a woman posing as a supporter of AOC and wearing a shirt that reads, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children.” Many people clearly thought she was mentally disturbed, but LaRouche PAC, a fringe organization that believes climate change is a hoax, was behind the stunt, according to the group’s Twitter account.

It is pretty telling that most people weren't sure if she was trolling or sincere. That is how unhinged you people look.

AOC even believed she was sincere. She's on the tweets defending her as having mental issues. So I guess even AOC can't tell the difference between her constituents and a person saying crazy shit.

Yeah, that stunt was like when kids interrupt while the adults were having a conversation. All it proved was the idiocy of the trolls.

Most people knew she was full of shit or mentally unwell.
If you didn't, well, that's on you.
You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

I think all of AOC's supporters are mentally ill, so that makes no difference.
