Any grief down your way from the EPA regarding discharge of the non-toxic pink stuff? The marina my father's boat is at in Mystic was fined by the EPA because they weren't containing the stuff coming out of the exhaust when first starting the engines in the spring. They use the same antifreeze in the engines as the potable water tanks, thinking it was environmentally responsible. Apparently not enough.
