Texas started falling in the rankings after CNBC added non-business related criteria to its metrics. Other publications still rank Texas as #1.
The article is paywalled, but it goes on to say this:
“Fecal matter washes into the ocean from a variety of sources, including urban development, sewage overflows, factory farms and livestock operations.
To reduce contamination, the report recommends major financial investments to stop sewage overflows and runoff pollution.
