"No problem. Russell just doesn't dump mass chemicals in the lake."
Maybe not anymore. But it is a documented FACT that they used to dump harmful dyes into Sugar Creek, which does empty into Elkahatchee Creek. As recently as the late 80's, you never knew what color Sugar Creek would be running: orange, purple, green, etc; it all depended on what color dye they were dumping that day.
Also, there is a sludge covering the bottom of Elkahatchee Creek that is so toxic that ADEM and the EPA have recommended that it NOT be pumped out, because doing so might unleash some toxins that would cause more harm than they are causing by sitting relatively undisturbed.
This doesn't mean that, overall, Lake Martin doesn't have some of the cleanest water in the southeast-- it does. But that is in spite of some of the stuff that has gone on, including dumping by RussellCorp.
What all of this has to do with karakoke night at Chuck's, I have no idea.
