This issue still seems to draw little concern.
Where are all the conservation groups?
This is a Lake issue. Why the silence?
They had plenty to say about the speed limit.
What's been flowing into the Lake all these years?
Is coal tar a carcinogen?
Energy is good.
Improper waste disposal is not.

Public concern about the nature of chemical plant operations and their products forced a number of government actions. In the U.S., the federal government enacted a number of environmental restrictions that forced many chemical companies to change not only their product lines, but also their production and waste treatment methods. Beginning in 1965, the U.S. government enacted the Water Quality Act, and then followed with other major pieces of legislation including the Clean Air Act of 1970; the Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970; the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide & Rodenticide Act of 1972; the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974; the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act of 1976; and the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.
