We speak with Tressie Kamp a staff attorney with Midwest Environmental Advocates, who is working with petitioners on the City of Racine Diversion Challenge . The Racine Diversion is a water diversion application submitted by the city of Racine to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in January 2018 requesting permission to divert up to an annual average of 7 million gallons of water a day from Lake Michigan to the village of Mount Pleasant (near Racine) in the Mississippi River Basin.
