State-wide NO FRACK Rally
& Public Hearing
on the EPA Proposed Air Pollution Rules
NEXT WEDNESDAY, Sept 28th, the EPA is holding a hearing on fracking (oil and gas extraction) and air quality.
The
Oil and Gas industry has been exempt from EPA regulations that normally
protect our air and water as well as our health, such as the Clean Air
Act and the Safe Water Drinking Act, since 2005. This exemption, called
the "Halliburton Loophole," is allowing highly toxic chemicals into our
air, water and land and causing serious health impacts all over
Colorado. The Halliburton Loophole urgently needs to be closed!
