It is ofgreat importance that the Pollution Control Board adopt strong anti-

degradation rules forthe Illinois’ clean water program. We must not allow any water to

be degraded. Just the opposite must occur if we are to survive as a species. I ask you to

copy this request to all members ofthe Board.

Respectfully,

Richard Worthen
