The state has officially rescinded the permit allowing increased ammonia and sludge discharges into Lake Michigan. We are now monitoring the refinery's compliance reports to ensure these waste levels remain strictly within previous limits.

The volume of support has now reached a point that forces a response from the regulators. I am finalizing a formal letter to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to demand an immediate review of the permit terms.

I live in Indiana and love Lake Michigan but it is unswimmable in Indiana because of this. PLEASE STOP RUINING THE LAKE, OUR NATIONAL TREASURE!!
this is insane. i grew up swimming in this lake and you cant even go near the water now. stop poisoning our drinking water for a few jobs.
my kids drink this water. why is this even allowed? Indiana regulators need to wake up and start protecting people instead of oil companies.
BP needs to be held accountable. Enough with the chemicals and sludge. 54% more ammonia is way to much. STOP IT.
Why do they keep letting these big companies do whatever they want? Lake Michigan isnt a garbage can! Fix this now.
How much longer can we destroy our waters! How much more can the earth take!

I agree. The lake is our NATIONAL TREASURE. We need to stop dumping waste into it and start cleaning up after ourselves. I aspire to make my own organization in the future to stop the DUMPING!!! #DUMPTHEDUMPING
