Ask Michigan's Adventure & the Michigan DEQ to Do the Right Thing!

The time has come to stop discharging 5 million plus gallons of waste per year into the watershed! Do the right thing and hook up to the Muskegon Wastewater System!

Why is this important?

Michigan's Adventure, a 250 acre amusement park in West Michigan is applying for an exemption to their wastewater permit (#GW1010335), to allow them to discharge 5 million plus gallons of waste per year on site. As a concerned citizen and local watershed volunteer, I am asking you to contact them and request they hook up to the existing wastewater line that runs directly in front of the park. The headwaters of the Duck Creek Watershed are located in very close proximity to this waste disposal site. We need to let the Michigan DEQ and the parent company of Michigan's Adventure know we believe in protecting our watershed and environment. The company that owns Michigan's Adventure, Cedar Fair, L.P., reported over $190 million dollars in profits last year. Join me in asking the Michigan DEQ and Michigan's Adventure to do the right thing and dispose of their waste in the local wastewater system instead of dumping 5 million-plus gallons of waste at the amusement park! We have until September 3rd to make our voices heard!
UPDATE: Let's keep up the pressure!!! The Muskegon Chronicle article has drawn a lot of attention to this issue. I'm leaving the petition open to let more people sign & tell Michigan's Adventure "It's Time to Hook Up!!!"
