The New York Times provides an interactive map of water polluters.
According to that map, derived from Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) data mostly from 2004 through 2007,
the biggest offenders in Lowndes County by number of violations are:
62 Moody Air Force BaseThese are all way ahead of Hahira’s notorious sewer system (supposed to be fixed now) and Valdosta’s Mud Creek WPCP (supposed to be being fixed now), both with 11 violations. Moody is not surprising, due to sheer size, although disappointing. The one that surprises me is the Boys Ranch.
42 Arizona Chemical Company
37 Georgia Sheriffs’ Boys Ranch
Of course, number of violations is just one measure, but it is an interesting one.
