- In this sentence:

The plant was consistently dumping illegal amounts of fecal bacteria, ammonia, and phosphorus into the Transquaking River.

I was wondering if it might be possible to replace "consistently" with something more quantative and precise. How long? how much? how frequently?

- On the sourcing might be nice to add in [3] just to shore up the articles sourcing.

- I've suggested an ALT 2 just to tighten the phrasing up. Would appreciate a 2nd opinion.
