BP just made a massive $3.8 billion expansion at their oil refinery in
Whiting, Indiana. After pouring billions of dollars into expanding
the aging plant, they claim they just wouldn't have the room to fit in
a water treatment facility to deal with the increased waste being
produced.
So BP is asking the EPA to instead let them dump 1,500 more pounds of
ammonia and 5,000 more pounds of toxic sludge into Lake Michigan.
The EPA has decided to let them do it.
Below is a link to send message rejecting the idea of dumping toxic
sludge into Lake Michigan. The message will go directly to BP's CEO
Tony Hayward and EPA Region 5 Administrator Mary Gade.
