Fw: I-69 Public Comments Taken, 11/19/13 (Tomorrow) at Monroe County Plan Commission, 6 pm

[Greg Buck]

Please pass this on to the road's opponents, those for responsive government, those for responsible government, those for clean water and those for enhancement of the environment - especially those in and near Bloomington, IN and Monroe County, IN.

Karyn Moskowitz seems to have anticipated problems with run off in her video "Change is Inevitable, Highways are Not" from about a decade ago that covered water pollution and cost over runs regarding a highway project in Kentucky.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Please try to attend this meeting.  Thank you to the Monroe County Plan Commission for addressing this critical issue.

Best regards,

Thomas & Sandra Tokarski 

To all concerned,

 

The Monre County Plan Commission will be taking Public Comment tomorrow night regarding I-69. It will be under Old Business, Agenda Item #1: I-69 Update. It is first up on the Agenda.

 

The meeting starts at 6 pm and the discussion will involve what to include in our second, Formal Complaint that will be sent to the responsible Federal Agencies regarding the repeated, ongoing soil runoff problems created from the I-69 Corridor Construction. The ensuing choking siltation and sedimentation events of our waterways from normal rainfall events is simply not acceptable.

 

Your input is encouraged and welcomed. If you have any videos or pictures that you would want to put up on the screen for the public to see, please let me know. We will include whatever you have as evidence to put into the record.

Our Indiana water quality laws state the following:

IC 13-30-2-1 “A person may not... (1) Discharge, emit, cause, allow ... any contaminant... into: (A) the environment; ... in any form that causes of would cause pollution that violates or would violate rules, standards, or discharge or emission requirements....”

IC 13-18-4-5)](a) “...a person may not: ... (2) cause, permit, or suffer to be thrown, run, drained, allowed to seep, or otherwise disposed; into any of the streams or waters of Indiana any organic or inorganic or inorganic matter that causes or contributes to a polluted condition of any of the streams or waters of Indiana....”

327 IAC 15-5-7(b)(15). “Natural features, including wetlands and sinkholes, shall be protected from pollutants associated with storm water runoff;”

Please distribute this and get as many people there tomorrow to speak and participate.

 

Sincerely,

 

Scott Wells
