Attend meeting and Contribute to the Debate
Citizen Hunters have been great on the issue of mercury pollution and wanted to alert you to an opportunity to let your voice be heard. To refresh your memory, check out that blog entry again.
On July 27th, state regulators will hold a public hearing in Norristown to gauge
public support for Gov. Rendell's mercury pollution reduction plan.
If you live in Southeastern PA and can go, please do. Filling the hearing room will help make it clear that Pennsylvania supports the state moving forward on this important issue.
WHAT: Public Hearing on Gov. Rendell's Mercury Pollution Reduction Plan
WHEN: Thursday, July 27th at 1pm
WHERE: The Department of Environmental Protection's Southeast Regional Office (2 East Main Street in Norristown, Montgomery County), Delaware Room

state Environmental Quality Board at 717-787-4526 at least one week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time slot at the hearing.
