BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, @EPA has published proposed revisions to federal coal ash safeguards. This is a big win for communities near coal plants. Toxic coal ash has been left to pollute communities & leach into drinking water for far too long.
The original rule excluded all coal ash at plants that stopped producing power & landfills that stopped receiving new waste before the law went into effect in 2015. We identified 566 landfills & ponds at 242 plants in 40 states that were excluded. earthjustice.org/feature/coal-a…
@Earthjustice @bluedillygal @EPA Mother Nature deserves better!
@Earthjustice @EPA The EPA, like so many other Fed agencies, has, with help from both parties in Congress, been ‘captured’ by those companies it is charged to regulate!
@Earthjustice @EPA enjoy it while you can....epa will disappear if Republicans get control...
@Earthjustice @EPA If it weren't for you guys, nothing would have been done and the situation would have only gotten worse. Thank you @Earthjustice
