FLINT, MI -- The city says heavy rain and limited treatment capacity has caused it to discharge a mixture of stormwater and sewage from its retention and treatment basin into the Flint River. “Large amounts of runoff and churning of the river sediments generally result in high bacterial levels in the river throughout high flow areas,” the announcement says. In a report to the state of Michigan, the city attributed the discharge of .84 inches of rain, more than the capacity of its treatment plant once the stormwater infiltrates city sewers. “This reduces our treatment capacity to half of its normal maximum capacity. The largest volume spill -- nearly 32 million gallons of stormwater and partially treated sewage -- was also at the treatment plant.

Rain is produced by one simple process- rising air. The rising air encounters less air around it, and the rising air expands. Hot and humid air does lead to the rising air, which turns into rain and thunderstorms. That’s just not cool enough to get the air rising and creating storms. If you’ve ever wondered how it can be so hot and humid and not have any thunderstorms, now you know.

Consumers Energy and the city partnered on Tuesday, June 29, for their annual cleanup of parks, including Ella Sharp Park, the MLK Equality Trail, Loomis Park and Exchange Playground. “We (Consumers Energy) just kind of wanted to get more involved outside with the city, and parks are a huge asset to any community,” said Jessica Spagnuolo, Consumers Energy sustainability director. More than 50 Consumers Energy volunteers worked in shifts painting picnic tables, weeding grass, spreading mulch and removing trash from the parks. “If we don’t give back, then we’re not a sustainable company,” said Carin Tunney, Consumers Energy sustainability communications consultant.

That’s according to scientists at the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network (IADN), a long-term Great Lakes monitoring program jointly funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Canada. The samples are part of a new IADN effort to analyze the prevalence of PFAS in precipitation across the Great Lakes. The preliminary data is unpublished and undergoing quality reviews, but researchers say early analysis shows PFAS chemicals to be major contaminant in regional rain and snow. After nearly a year’s worth of sampling, Venier said preliminary analysis also shows PFAS concentrations are orders of magnitude higher than other pollutants in the samples. Hendershott leads a regulatory program that investigates PFAS sites in Michigan and collects data on the chemicals in drinking water, soil, wastewater and other environment media.
