Transquaking River

... that an animal rendering and recycling company plant in Maryland exceeded ammonia pollution limits in the Transquaking River (pictured) by 25 times?

- In this sentence:

The plant was consistently dumping illegal amounts of fecal bacteria, ammonia, and phosphorus into the Transquaking River.

I was wondering if it might be possible to replace "consistently" with something more quantative and precise. How long? how much? how frequently?

- On the sourcing might be nice to add in [3] just to shore up the articles sourcing.

- I've suggested an ALT 2 just to tighten the phrasing up. Would appreciate a 2nd opinion.

Seddon Do we need a new reviewer? SL93 (talk) 02:44, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New reviewer needed. Previous reviewer had requested a second opinion back in early February. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Passing ALT2, agree otherwise at the lack of fault found per Seddon. GTG. SN54129 15:59, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
