Tell the DNR: Protect our lakes!
The state is close to adopting a new plan to crack down on runoff pollution from agriculture, sewers and roads, which leads to the algae problem.
On Wednesday, June 23, the Department of Natural Resources Board will say yes or no to the new rules. We need to make sure they stand up for our lakes, even in the face of pressure from Big Ag to back down.
Add your name to the petition at right to tell the DNR to say yes to protecting our lakes.

Tell DNR -- Protect Our Lakes!
The Department of Natural Resources is proposing to strengthen the rules to address the pollution in our lakes, specifically the runoff pollution –– sediment, manure and chemicals –– that "runs off" into our waterways from agriculture, construction sites, sewers and roads.
If these proposed rules get adopted, they will reduce the main source of the pollution that causes the algae blooms we see each summer choking our beaches and best fishing spots, and they will help prevent fish kills.
The proposed rules will restrict excessive spreading of manure and fertilizer near waterways and require municipalities to improve sewer systems to restrict sediment and chemicals from flowing directly into lakes and streams.
Opponents representing big agribusiness and developers are trying to weaken the proposed rules, and they have a lot of clout.
Sign our petition to the DNR to support the new runoff rules by March 12.
