This Week on The Environment Report      Public comments show how much and why people oppose Nestle water withdraw State regulators are sending signals that they're close to making a decision on a controversial water permit for Nestle. Right now the company pumps 250 gallons per minute from an existing well near Evart, Michigan to sell under the company's Ice Mountain bottled water brand. Nestle hopes to get a permit that would allow the company to pump 400 gallons of water a minute. But Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality has been inundated with public comments opposing the plan. On today's Environment Report, we look at the reasons people oppose Nestle's water withdrawal and why it's taken the DEQ so long to review the permit application.   Listen to The Environment Report on Michigan Radio, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:50 AM and 5:45 PM.
