To everyone who signed on to the  Save the Dunes' petition drive to halt BP's  NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) water permit, at the Whiting oil refinery facility, we thank you!  We will be providing Governor Mitch Daniels with all petitions collected. Your signature amplifies the call to BP to reconsider their proposed increases in discharges until such time that environmentally safe and efficient parameters are employed by BP to protect Lake Michigan. The Great Lakes are too valuable a resource to demand anything less. Thank you for your continued support.


Dear Governor Daniels:

I have been following developments on the BP (British Petroleum) Whiting, IN Refinery's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and need to let you know how outraged I am by these developments.
  • Indiana should never backslide on any regulations pertaining to the Clean Water Act.
  • BP should be required to expand their wastewater treatment facility to accommodate these expanded discharges.
The water quality of Lake Michigan is of global significance and should never be compromised.  Your attention to this matter is important to not only the residents of Indiana but also has a bearing on the entire population of the Great Lakes and beyond.
