 "I am deeply disappointed
by today's U.S. EPA's decision to allow the BP refinery in northwest
Indiana to increase the level of pollution they dump into Lake
Michigan.""We've spent decades cleaning up the Great Lakes, and
BP's decision to increase the pollution they dump into Lake Michigan
flies in the face of all progress made to protect this priceless
resource. BP is earning record profits and surely can afford
state-of-the-art water treatment technology to better protect water
quality and the environment."
"I strongly urge the U.S. EPA to reconsider this decision and to
work with Congress in a long-term plan that stops pollution and
protects the people and wildlife that rely on Lake Michigan."
