Here, EPA's inspector general discusses the problem 
of the failure of states like Michigan and many others

The other issue to think about is whether the Great Lakes system 
and connecting waterways should have basin wide 
numerical water quality standards for nutrients....and the 
risks and benefits of such a strategy.
