    January 6th, 2009 at 03:56:04 BP Increases Toxic Sludge Dumping into Lake Michigan BP will now be allowed to dump an average of 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of sludge mixed with 21 million gallons of contaminated wastewater into Lake Michigan EVERY DAY. An immediate boycott of BP is necessary.

    January 6th, 2009 at 04:19:03 Do the math: 1584 pounds of ammonia per day multiplied by 365 days equals 578,160 pounds per year, and 5,781,600lbs in the next decade. 4925 pounds of toxic sludge multiplied by 365 days equals 1,797,625 pounds per year, or 17,976,250 pounds over the next 10 years. At 21 million gallons of contamintated water per day, they will pollute 76,650,000,000 gallons of fresh water in the next ten years.

    January 6th, 2009 at 04:42:02 In the United States, BP markets their products and services under five name brands so if you don't agree with what they are doing, don't give them any of your money! 1. BP 2. Amoco 3. ARCO 4. am/pm 5. Castrol

    January 6th, 2009 at 05:05:01 I believe the proposal to allow increased dumping of ammonia and toxic sludge into Lake Michigan from British Petroleum's oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana is unconscionable. Certainly a company that claims to be "Beyond Petroleum" can also be beyond polluting our waters. Please halt progress on this proposal now and find a way to deal with the waste this plant produces other than dumping more of it into Lake Michigan.
