Re: E-M:/ Proposed Live Fire zones in ferry crossing route

[Kay Cumbow <kcumbow@greatlakes.net>]

EMers, 

Regarding this proposal for live firing ranges on the Great Lakes, does
anyone have the either the address or email address to post comments to?
Comments are due tomorrow. Also, where can the proposal be found? Are
depleted uranium rounds considered in this proposal?
