"Since PHMSA has authority over the safety of CO2 pipelines, states confront preemption issues, restricting their ability to protect residents from the dangers CO2 pipelines pose," the lawmakers wrote.

They were headed home in a red Cadillac when they heard a boom and saw a big white cloud shooting into the evening sky.

Despite being properly treated and highly diluted, wastewater still impacts on the river ecosystemAn experiment using water from a large wastewater treatment plant has shown that this water continues to affect river diversity and the trophic web (food web) despite being properly treated and highly diluted before discharge. The study shows that the limits currently in place and the procedures used to treat wastewater may not be sufficient to protect the natural properties of food webs.
