By the 2000s, Springsteen would have been forgiven for taking a long victory lap and playing the greatest hits on tour. When the E Street Band were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, Steven Van Zandt noted that the band maintained a huge worldwide fanbase, which he said was ‘Due, directly, to our leader’s relentless striving for greatness, his insistence on our constantly evolving musical excellence and his continuing to write songs at an unnecessarily high level of quality.’ 2007’s ‘Magic’ was a great example of that. One thing is for sure, the problem must be fixed. The current plan includes testing of sediment at the bottom of the canal and automatic montiors, which will take samples twice a day over an extended time. One theory is tht rain introduces fecal matter to the canal after rain storms, but that doesn’t explain the consistently high concentrations. Kayakers are unable to use the canal and authorities have no answers.

Authorities and local residents are growing more and more frustrated with each failed attampt to fix the problem. The latest test, performed on July 7th of this year, showed concentrations of about 350 times the allowable limit of fecal contamination. Now, a specialist has been hired to figure out the problem in a 3-month research project. As a matter of fact, the levels have never fallen into the safe category for swimming standards for the state of Florida. a while back, a leak was located and fixed, but the high levels remain in the latest testing. The offending gunk in the water is called enterococci fecal bacteria. Investigators say they have tried for the last two years to find the source of the poo water, but they have been unsuccessful so far. About two years ago, authorities warned kayakers about fecal matter in a canal that is located near Miami Beach.
