Subject: proposing changes in water quality standards

Importance: Normal

I am writing to appose changing the criteria for water to be less stringent. I feel we cannot take clean water for granted. We as a society are polluting ourselves for profit and greed. Just because carcinogenic levels of arsenic and other pollutants are higher that 10 years ago cannot justify allowing more into our environment. These pollutants over accumulated time in people, animals, and environment cause disease. Please hold accountable those who can change there ways of production (factory's and industry) to create cleaner systems that don't pollute our water and air. This is not about relaxing your water criteria, its about making industry find cleaner, saver ways of doing business.

Please do not allow for higher levels of pollutant in our water.

Thank you,

Cary Weigand
