I should be more clear. I'm not saying there is no need to investigate further. Just that some of the reported findings seem overblown in the article's I've read, in my opinion. There needs to be more information to answer your question. "Why is the grass dying?" Who knows, toxic chemical, or just water logged grass. Black looking water coming from a black pipe? Maybe it's treated water and safe, maybe it's not. Needs more information. I'm kind blown away that the lab didnt collect water at the discharge point.
