Water Quality Standards Workgroup Helps Craft Comments on EPA's Draft 2009 Update Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia-Freshwater
The Water Quality Standards workgroup recently helped the Mississippi River Collaborative author and submit comments on US EPA's Draft 2009 Update Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia-Freshwater. The comments include the scientific views of the Clean Water Network and the Mississippi River Collaborative. The commenting organizations and their organizational members have many members who are affected by ammonia pollution of the nation's waters. These persons' ability to use these waters for nature study, drinking water, commercial fishing, recreation-based business, swimming and other forms of recreation are adversely affected by pollution which harms freshwater mussels and other aquatic life that are essential to the ecological balance and biodiversity of our rivers, lakes and streams.
