Looking at the comments, I'm baffled by the number of people that still think it's "minor issue" while doing absolutely no research.

It's not just a little bit of salt, it's enough to kill fishes and whole ecosystem at scale, and it's all in the quoted article that people have definitely not read.

A "whole ecosystem" could mean a 2 square meter area or a 500 square km area. The article doesn't really specify how big of an issue it really is.
