    CLERK’S OFFICE
    Dear Ms. Gunn:
    The Illinois Pollution Control Board should adopt strong rules to prevent
    degradation ofIllinois’ rivers, lakes and streams. New or increased pollution should not
    be allowed in anywater unless it has been shown that it will not hurt aquatic life.
    Also, new or increased pollution should not be allowed in any Illinois water
    unless it has been shown that it is really necessary. This means that all reasonable
    alternatives to allowing the newpollution should be considered carefully.
    Finally, some Illinois waters should be protected from all new pollution entirely.
    Citizens and citizen groups should be allowed to petition to have waters designated as
    Outstanding Resource Waters and protected from pollution. Such petitions should not be
    tied up in a lot ofunnecessary red tape and citizens should not be expected to show the
    economic impacts ofthe designation. Developers and other businesses can be counted on
    to complain if they think an Outstanding Resource Water designation will cost them
    money.
    Sincerely,
    rr~r
