This is terrible. All the time I read here about Bldg.$1 at 'Nofre flowing all that crapp into the ocean, so this is no surprise. SOSC should have seen the red flags, but they didn't.

Mr. Geez, does it not seem every major raw sewage overflow eminates at San Onofre toilets. They must return to the open pit system, like when Dr.Barney and EMcB were still alive. Jungle Jim tried to plug it up, but in his attempt fell in covering hisself with tons of muerda.
