Letter sent to President Obama urging the Administration to ensure that the environmentally destructive and economically wasteful Delaware River Deepening Project does not receive federal funding is available through a link on this page.

This project,which would use scarce tax dollars to deepen 102 miles of the Delaware River’s navigation channel, will destroy ecologically and environmentally important resources while failing to provide a sound economic return for the taxpayers’ investment.

Save the Illinois River (STIR) is concerned about a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study for the Illinois River watershed in Oklahoma and Arkansas.  This study by U.S. EPA is now underway with the cooperation of both states. STIR is very concerned that there may currently be an effort to steer the EPA’s TMDL study in order to prolong and confuse its completion and implementation. Please check out the attached letter outlining the group's concerns, sent by STIR leaders to Administrator Lisa Jackson at EPA.  More information about STIR and this issue can be found on their website: http://www.illinoisriver.org/default.aspx Picture from Save the Illinois River http://www.illinoisriver.org/Photos/15486.jpg
