Elect Me Mayor I'll Rename WWTP The Barrie P. Tilghman WWTP

Pipes draining directly from the WWTP into the Wicomico River.
Man made stream with 2 Cat diesel generators pumping water from the Plant to the River.

The above image shows what happens when you pump sludge into a River.
The above image shows piles of human feces stored with NO liner, (by law) drying out in an area the MDE was completely unaware of. The City was fined $10,000.00.
The above is the notorious "sludge pit" that was illegal and had a liner in it that was guaranteed for 30 DAYS and was in there for 20+ years. The pit was the size of a football field and whenever there were heavy rains the pit would over flow into the Wicomico River. The City was forced to remove it.
The above shows sand bags attempting to stop the sludge from exiting the pit and down the hill to the river.
Looking at the above image you can see the Plant in the upper right hand corner. The MDE was NOT aware of the illegal activity going on at the Plant because it was being done in a wooded area center of the picture. This is an image I took from a Plane but believe me, when your on the ground level you would have had NO idea it was there. A small road took you back to that area where the MDE wasn't welcome.
Once the City was forced to remove the sludge pit, the image above shows the actual sludge in huge dumpsters with plastic liners on top.

The images you see above are just a select few of the hundreds I took while investigating the Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant. Many of you are familiar with this story as it was taking place around 7 years ago.

I simply drove right up to their front door and started walking the grounds. They had no idea who I was and never questioned me. There was a lot of construction going on and I was fairly new to the Blogging World at the time.

Once I was able to record and document all of the illegal activity I contacted the MDE. They came to my home and started viewing the pictures and could not believe what they were seeing. They had no idea there was a sludge pit in an area the City clearly designed to be hidden from the rest of the world. They were illegally pumping water by the millions of gallons into the River.

All the while former Mayor Barrie P. Tilghman was going public stating the WWTP was 99% compliant with the MDE, it was untrue. She was always claiming it was on time and under budget.

Barrie Tilghman and Council President Mike Dunn were telling people I was a liar and the information I was publishing was not true. THE PICTURES DO NOT LIE and that is exactly why the MDE immediately created a task force and spent 3 straight days down at the WWTP writing violations.

There even came a time when they started putting colored stickers on their construction helmets in order to make sure if Joe Albero walked on the property people would be able to tell because I didn't have the blue sticker, LMAO! The workers immediately told me about the stickers. There were NO, "no trespassing signs" anywhere at that Plant until my pictures were published. Now there's a fence around the entire Plant.

Then Barrie Tilghman allegedly tried to have a NO FLY ZONE created over the WWTP because I stated I'd simply go up in a plane and take pictures, in which I did.

So I believe the Citizens of Salisbury should reward former Mayor Barrie P. Tilghman with the honor of proposing to renaming the WWTP the Barrie P. Tilghman WWTP. I can't wait for the election, how about you?
