The petition reads:
To: U.S. Congress
I would like to add my voice in favor of HR 2452, the Raw Sewage Overflow Community Right-to-Know Act, which amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to direct owners or operators of publicly owned treatment works to: (1) institute an alert system for sewer overflows; (2) notify the public of such overflows in areas where human health is potentially affected not later than 24 hours; (3) immediately notify public health authorities and other affected entities; and (4) provide specified reports to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the state.
Sincerely,
