MADISON – On Friday afternoon, Midwest Environmental Advocates and several groups challenging the proposed diversion of Great Lakes water for the Foxconn plant filed requests to stay the diversion that they contend violates the terms of the Great Lakes Compact. The filings do not seek to prevent Foxconn from moving forward with general construction. Rather, the filings ask the court to put a hold on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ diversion approval during the ongoing legal challenge. Additionally, the groups have requested that the City of Racine hold off on beginning any construction work on new water infrastructure related to the proposed diversion of water from Lake Michigan.
