To: Susan Sammis Friends and Supporters--WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have received numerous accounts of heavy sedimentation in streams and springs around the I-69 corridor now under construction in Monroe and Greene Counties. We have witnessed and documented such contamination ourselves. These problems are a violation of state erosion control regulations and of the Karst Agreement that is supposed to regulate construction in Monroe and Greene Counties. As most of you probably know, karst areas develop where buried limestone is slowly dissolved away by running water, creating sinkholes, springs, sinking streams and caves. Karst areas are very environmentally sensitive... ...WE NEED YOUR HELP IN DOCUMENTING I-69 RELATED PROBLEMS. Please keep your eyes and ears open, and your camera handy. If you drive around the I-69 construction area watch for places where rainwater and other runoff from the site can get into surface waters off the site. Take notes. If you hear of anyone complaining that previously clean streams, springs, ponds or wells are now discolored or cloudy with sediment, please take notes. Photos and videos are especially helpful. Contact us with any information, even if you are not sure it is related to I-69. We need to document the abuses so we can report them to the regulatory agencies, You can also report the violations yourself, Call the IDEM Complaint Coordinator, (800) 451-6027, ext. 24464. OR File a complaint on line: in.gov/idem/5275.htm These are very serious and apparently widespread environmental/quality-of-life problems. We need to work together to put an end to this before it leads to even more disastrous abuses to our environment and our way of life. Thank you for your continued support.
