On his first voyage (1482-1483), he discovered the Congo River, and contacted the Bakongo kingdom further upstream. He followed the African coast southward until Cape St. Mary in Angola.
On his second voyage (1485-1486), he reached even further south, to Cape Cross in Namibia. He also sailed a short way up the Congo. It is not known whether he returned from this voyage.
WE owe the discovery of the Kongo[2] to the enterprise of Prince Henry the Navigator, fourth son of John I., King of Portugal, and grandson of Edward HL, King of England.
Diego Cão, by royal edict dated 14th April, 1484, was commissioned to extend the explorations on the coast of Africa, and he discovered the Kongo River in 1484.
The name, of course, was given to it long before it was discovered by Diego Cão, and as part of the Fiote religious system, as we shall learn later on.
Having concluded that a CAO is the most appropriate action to comprehensively deal with the water quality issues at the Duck Pond Landfill, the WDRs should be rescinded.
The County's placement of waste in a landfill, as the County suggests, is not the conduct with which the CAO is concerned.
It is the release of pollutants associated with that waste into the ground water that is the subject of the CAO, and that release is a violation of law.
