I wouldn't eat ANYTHING out of that river.
True story. A certain chemical plant I worked at would pull water from the Mississippi River for use in the process. They also had a permit for outflow from the plant into the river for excess water (treated, of course). There was an operating unit whose sole job was to make sure they delivered JUST enough water to the plant to meet their needs. Once that water crossed into the plant, it was too polluted to put back into the river and any excess water pulled into the plant had to be treated at very high cost before it could be flowed back into the river.
Yes, the Mississippi River is too polluted to be put into the Mississippi River.

This sounds like complete and utter bullshite. It may not meet their needs due to certain criteria, but the river is not polluted.

Your post reminded me of when someone told me that radioactive waste from nuclear plants were just dumped into the ocean.
I also worked in "A" chemical plant in BR for over 23 years. The treated water discharged back into the river is actually better than the river water, after it is treated.
It wasn't always that way, but that's how it was when I started working and when I left.
