Industrial facilities dumped over 10 million pounds of toxic chemicals into waterways throughout Georgia, according to a report released today by Environment Georgia: Wasting Our Waterways: Industrial Toxic Pollution and the Unfulfilled Promise of the Clean Water Act. The Savannah River received more toxic pollution than any other river in Georgia and was the fourth most polluted river in the country.
