What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

I am fortunate to live near in a city where the EPA is holding hearings on a proposal to allow the federal government to regulate coal ash. The closest hearing to you is going to be in Chicago, at the Hilton Chicago on Thursday, September 16. http://www.epa.gov/wastes/nonhaz/industrial/special/fossil/ccr-rule/ccr-hearing.htm
It is also possible to comment online, but I can't find that link.
