Badger Owners Receive Notice That Their NPDES Individual Permit Application Has Been Accepted Ludington (MI) Owners of the SS Badger have announced that they have received a formal letter from U.S. EPA Region 5 in Chicago, IL on Wednesday, August 29 stating that their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Individual Permit Application has been accepted as complete. LMC officials are pleased the application has been accepted and view this as being an important step in the right direction. We are confident in our position and although several hurdles remain, we are now moving forward with the capital investments on the Badger for our 2013 sailing season, stated Bob Manglitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lake Michigan Carferry. We have worked very hard to get our application submitted and accepted, and we will continue to work closely with the EPA to get the 5-year individual permit approved in a timely manner, he adds. We will continue to provide the EPA with any additional information they request and consider this notification from the U.S. EPA a positive step forward, stated Manglitz.
