The standard at the time was to dump the shavings of iron ore pellets into the lake with the proposal being, "the solution to pollution is dilution."She refused this reply and convinced the Federal Government and the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to bring a lawsuit against the company. The law suit was settled in favor of the people and the companies are now dumping on land effectively saving Lake Superior from certain destruction." Credit to Charles Eshbach for the details. Verna Mize almost single handidly saved Lake Superior from pollution and to honor her efforts we race in and around that same lake.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8aacff90-ff2d-11f0-97b0-bf8aa747ab8d-rimg-w699-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/8ae5e9e0-ff2d-11f0-942f-d149ae617f16-rimg-w555-h740-dc32322d-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/8b4b3b60-ff2d-11f0-97b0-bf8aa747ab8d-rimg-w555-h740-dca99688-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/8c991820-ff2d-11f0-97b0-bf8aa747ab8d-rimg-w417-h740-dc594e45-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8e46c820-ff2d-11f0-942f-d149ae617f16-rimg-w555-h740-dc917f78-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8e8a87e0-ff2d-11f0-942f-d149ae617f16-rimg-w1200-h425-dcaacff4-gmir.jpg
