To Whom it May Concern:

Please do everything in your power to increase water quality standards! I see way too many people affected by Parkinson's Disease and other neurological disorders. There is significant evidence suggesting these disorders are linked to pesticides and other toxins in our waters and fish. We can't "undo" it once its done! Wouldn't it be terrible to realize these toxins are indeed linked to all the suffering we see in families due to illness! and realize we DIDN'T do anything to prevent it! We have to start somewhere...

Thanks for your attention!

Sincerely,

Kathy Krause
