Wastewater treatment plants don't know how to remove the trace amounts of personal care products, birth control pills, etc., that wind up in the waste stream. Lark's Mississippi River Forum kickoff in April had a big report on the problem, which is everywhere. And if it's feminizing male fish, what's happening to us--we drink that river, too.

There is one (or more) otter living under the lower docks at Harriet Island. Talk about urban.
