Hi all,

Keeping with our strategy of trying to maintain a slow drumbeat throughout the ANPRM comment period, please find below social guidance on an article placed in the Salt Lake City Tribune highlighting the potential impacts of NEPA reg reform on our environment and the health of local communities.

Pease let me know if you have any questions.

Should Bears Ears be opened to oil and gas exploration. Is it appropriate for corporations to suck water out of the Grand Staircase-Escalante? If the Trump administration’s latest attack on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is successful, Utahns may lose their right to weigh in on important decisions like these. #ProtectYourVoice

Remember when President Trump cut Bears Ears National Monument by 85 percent last year and slashed Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument nearly in half?  If that wasn’t bad enough, Utahns are now poised to lose the ability to weigh in on critical decisions, like whether those same lands should be opened to oil and gas exploration or if proposals to suck water out of Grand Staircase springs should be green-lighted. #ProtectYourVoice

For over 45 years the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has served as the foundation of reasonable, balanced and transparent protections for our environment. Our health, safety, and environment depend on it. #ProtectYourVoice

.@realdonaldtrump says he wants to hand our industrial permits “so fast your head will spin.” That’s code for clearcutting our national forests, more drilling on our public lands, and eliminating public input. #ProtectYourVoice

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ensures that citizens like you have a right to weigh in on federal decisions impacting your health, environment, and economic livelihood. Powerful special interests in Washington are pushing to roll back this bedrock environmental law. #ProtectYourVoice
