Just spoke to Mr. Threatt with the United States Coast Guard in Washington, D.C., reporting City of St. Augustine failing to regulate, map or monitor locations of septic tanks bordering our navigable waterways, including our Salt Run, Matanzas Bay and Matanzas River and San Sebastian River.
Why?
I asked City Public Works Director for a map showing septic tank locations yesterday, and received in response her usual clueless snootiness (about no data and not regulating anything).
Our overpaid City Hall denizens need to get to work. How do leaking septic tanks affect our waterways? Let us have data. Let us have questions answered.
Let justice be done.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
