Reply to Drug Testing at JHHS? by DudeApplying2Hopkins

I was hoping to have heard from the recruiter today, but no such luck. The offer letter said I'd get a first contact "within 48 business hours" which I interpreted as two business days. The other possibility is SIX business days which just doesn't make sense. I can't wait until this is all over.

Alan Shaw can afford to build an Olympic size swimming pool in the backyard of his estate and store most of the 675,000 gallons of contaminated water there. He can then use the remaining 15,000 gallons for showering and to water his plants and lawn.

  1. it wasn't a DPW managed facility that exploded, it was caused by Synagro's centrifuge machines.

  2. Norfolk Southern isn't sending this to Back River, they're sending it to Clean Harbors. Back River would have fuckall to do with this treatment, the waste water back River receives would be treated like any other sewage.

Maybe if you have some evidence that Clean Harbors isn't meeting EPA guidelines before discharging to Back River you might have an argument, but it sounds like you have no idea what's actually happening.
