Dry Cargo Residue Discharges in the Great Lakes; Notice of Public Meeting

View Comment

Please do NOT allow cargo sweeping into the Great Lakes! While it surely is an "inexpensive and quick way to clean ships" it is NOT a way to continue to protect and preserve the Lakes! In the long run it can be harmful! One need only to think about ballast waters and the many invasive species which have caused enormous problems! Thank you. Lyda Stillwell
