the super fund there, s this residue at the bottom that s toxic and disgusting and has to be dredged. yes, they ll take out 60 cubic yards of that. then the city and d.e.p. will have to deal with the banks, the plumage issues how gross was it to be in it? pretty gross. it s certainly the worst thing i ve swam in. because you ve swam in a lot of gross stuff? yeah. my mom said she remembers walking in the 79 bill basin and it was pretty bad. that was pre-clean water act. and for the taste and smell for the swimmer, you re looking at or you re inhaling a bouquet that s got mud, oil, gas, trash, detergent, all these kind of tastes and that also weird grassy, grainy, bad green smoothy feeling in your mouth after.
