Subject: Fwd: [cdp] Letter supporting Schrier amdt. to block Mercury rollback

 

Hello all,

 

Moms Clean Air Force and EDF are circulating a community letter in support of Rep. Schrier’s amendment to Interior-Enviro appropriations to block EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) rollback. 

 

MATS has been very effective at protecting families and communities against toxic air, lead, arsenic, and other pollution, and industry spent billions complying with the rule. 

 

Please see the note below. Hope your group can join the letter! Closes at 5:00PM on Tuesday.

 

Clarence

Dear all,

 

Below is a letter in support of Rep. Schrier’s amendment to prevent EPA from using funds to finalize its proposed supplemental finding that could unravel the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards for power plants. Text of the amendment is available here.

 

Please use this form to review the letter and sign on your organization, if interested. Given the floor schedule this week, the deadline is 5:00PM tomorrow, 6/18. Apologies for the tight timeline!

 

Thanks,

Mandy
