Take Action today. We can't allow the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) make it easier for coal-fired power plants to pollute our rivers, lakes, and streams.
Here are the facts!
- Coal-fired power plants are one of the largest sources of toxic water pollution in America’s rivers, lakes, and streams.
- The wastewater they produce contain millions of pounds of toxic metals (like arsenic, mercury, and lead), nutrient pollution, bromides, and other harmful substances.
- Even tiny amounts of these pollutants can cause public health risks when present in drinking water, harm aquatic life, and damage ecosystems.
- EPA is rollbacking requirements on the amount of arsenic, mercury, and other toxic pollutants that coal power plants are allowed to discharge.
- This means more harmful pollutants making their way into our drinking water and impacting nearby communities already disproportionately affected by this toxic pollution.
DON'T DELAY. TELL EPA: PROTECT OUR WATERWAYS FROM TOXIC COAL PLANT POLLUTION
- Do not weaken wastewater treatment requirements for coal-fired power plants
- Stop giveaways to polluters
- Protect our drinking water, water quality, and communities
