What about The Parkersburg Vienna Residents. Everyone knows that crap comes across the river.

Hey WTAP, how about running pictures that belong with the story line? The images of the plants shown during this clip are NOT responsible for any magnesium discharge or pollution in this area. Fact is the plants you showed do not even have any magnesium on their property nor is any used in their processes. I have no issues with you running this story, but please stop implementing innocent facilities that are actually good neighbors to the community and take the environment very seriously.

Wonder how much this study is going to cost the American tax payer? Don't think the EPA is doing this out of the generosity of their hearts. It would be interesting if WTAP could go more in depth on what the EPA plans to do with these findings, or is this just more pork barrel spending.
