Although the Ohio River is one of the most polluted rivers in the U.S., it provides drinking water for more than five million people. The Ohio River also provides diverse recreational opportunities and habitat for wildlife, including threatened and endangered species. For many years, ORSANCO has been responsible for setting pollution limits in the Ohio River, but the agency is now proposing to permanently eliminate those pollution limits from its rules. Please tell ORSANCO to keep its pollution protections in place to increase its efforts to protect the Ohio River and restore the quality of America's most polluted river. Speak out to ensure that the Ohio River's pollution control standards are not eliminated.
Write ORSANCO by midnight February 24 and let them know:
1) Its work setting pollution limits is critical to the health of the Ohio River.
2) You oppose ANY proposal that eliminates ORSANCO's mandatory pollution limits for the Ohio River!
