Citing "ongoing regional opposition," BP America Chairman and President Bob
Malone announced this morning that the company will avoid any increased
pollution into Lake Michigan from its oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana.

BP has heard the voices of hundreds of thousands of Great Lakes region residents
saying that Lake Michigan is a natural treasure and source of drinking water,
not our dumping ground. In response, BP has issued a non-binding statement
indicating it will avoid increased dumping of ammonia and toxics-containing
solids, which are allowed by its new discharge permit issued in June by
Indiana's Department of Environmental Management.


lets hope they don't try to pull a fast one.
