Note from True:
Here is the link that explains how to submit public comment with the correct website address, and the official closing of the public comment period. The wrong address and ending comment date were recently printed in the Cook County Star (Monday, October 30). The comment period closes on November 13 and comments can be-emailed but don't wait too long! There are many reasons to oppose this plan: danger to small boaters, negative impact on fish, wildlife and clean water, opposition from mayors on both sides of the border, violation of a long-time treaty with Canada, and unnecessary warlike buildup and militarization of the peaceful and beautiful Great Lakes.

Dear Rhonda,
Thanks for the post. No criticism of the Star was intended and hopefully won't be taken as such. In fact I was grateful to read the interesting article about the Clean Water Act suit.
I followed the link in your story and could not reach the site. It was more than a few clicks before I found the correct address of http://dms.dot.gov
(i.e., the "www" was not accepted by my browser).
I posted this quickly because I did not want people discouraged to have missed the comment deadline.
Your good work is appreciated.
True
