Keep it clean, we all live downstream. HOLY CARP! What’s happening to these fish? I need to get a water sample to HQ FAST! Moments later at HQ… I confirm petroleum contamination in the sample… …and traced its source. Follow the homing signal on your wrist. I can’t believe my eyes! Those fools are pouring motor oil and paint right into that storm drain!! HQ responds… Storm drains discharge into the river without being treated. You must stop them immediately! FREEZE!!! I’m putting you t wo on ice! FACT: 1 quart of motor oil can pollute 250, 000 gallons of water. Don’t you know that we ALL live downstream?
