Dear EPA Administrator Jackson, LTG Commander Van Antwerp and President Obama --
are you folks out of your mind. Barack how can you + all allow this to continue. do you not realize what takes place with all this.
how bad this is to teach children good science then to see this pollution be allowed. we can find other solution to taper into very quick as the most toxic stop ASAP. people are stressed by these layers of irresponsibility, not to mention locals are ill + diseased now + more to follow in the future if this does not stop.
i can see why Bush is considered a war criminal in more ways then 1. Barack you running close behind as you fail to do what you agreed to, why? Haliburton should be required to make up for all these ill effects to people, which cannot really be done, once suffering has happen for their is no compensation big enough for these ill states. it must stop. remove their ability to do business.. i cannot believe how you allow this corp manipulation.
please redirect + I write to request that you protect communities, fish and wildlife from mining waste dumped in our nation's lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands.
Please adopt policies to ensure the treatment of mining wastes before they are discharged to the nation's waters. And please take immediate action to exclude mining waste from the definition of "fill material" and end the practice of using lakes, streams and wetlands as waste treatment systems.
The EPA and the Army Corps created a dangerous loophole in 2002 that has allowed mining corporations to call mine waste "fill material" and bypass federal pollution standards. Congress intended "fill material" to be used only sparingly in water bodies where necessary for construction purposes, such as building bridges or roads. This Bush administration decision opened the door for mines to dump untreated waste directly into America's streams and lakes.
Another loophole, called the “waste treatment system exclusion,” allows mining companies to circumvent the Clean Water Act and use streams, wetlands and lakes to dump their waste. Most mining waste contains toxic chemicals like arsenic and lead, which could serious harm to aquatic life. In fact, at the Kensington Mine in Alaska, the company acknowledged that filling in Lower Slate Lake with mining waste would kill every species of fish in the Lake.
The loss of Lower Slate Lake is just the beginning. High gold and metal prices have triggered a mining boom that, without stronger regulation, threatens countless lakes, streams and wetlands in Alaska and throughout the country.
Please work together to close these Clean Water Act loopholes. By reinstating the longstanding exclusion of waste from the definition of "fill material," restoring 36 years of controls on mining waster subject to effluent limitations, and ensuring that natural lakes, streams and wetlands are not used as waste treatment systems, we can make sure our waters – and the communities, jobs, and environment that rely upon them --are protected for future generations.
