Now’s the time to be involved in this public participation
campaign. We’ve worked over 20 years on this cause and we all need
to pitch in for the final push for PCB pollution cleanup, public compensation
and restoration of the Fox River and Green Bay. You can help protect
public health, fish and wildlife, and prevent this ever happening again.
Together we citizens CAN make a difference!

May 2007 Update
Awful
Changes Still Proposed
for
Fox River Clean-up
So far, the DNR and EPA are still proposing a new Fox River Cleanup
plan which is drastically weaker than the plan we were promised 3.5 years
ago, in 2003. (see details)
Good
News! Our new Congressman,
Steve Kagen, has taken
action this April and May, 2007, to re-open the public debate on the
sediment capping plan.
