Environmental Protectional Agency THREATENS WATERWAYS!
Karl: Okay, two things make me poop:
1. coffee in the morning and,
2. being really mad.
We ran out of coffee this morning, but luckly AW sent this out via email. I can't believe how dumb our governement is, or how dumb they think we are, to let this happen. Please read this and take the time to let the EPA know that this will not happen.

Under the Clean Water Act, pumping polluted water from one body of water to another is illegal without a permit. The law (and common sense!) tell us that transferring dirty, contaminated water into clean water poses grave threats to public health, fish and wildlife.
Yet the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to exempt water transfers from the Clean Water Act -- no matter how contaminated the transferred water is and even when it is being pumped into drinking water sources! This proposed rule undermines the Clean Water Act and compromises the health of our nation's lakes, rivers, streams, coasts and other waters.
The agency is accepting public comments until July 24. It is important that EPA receive as many comments as possible in opposition to its reckless policy proposal.
Please tell the EPA today that pumping polluted water into clean water without a permit must remain illegal under the Clean Water Act.
