Summary: A coalition of environmental organizations, including Earthjustice and the Sierra Club, argues that the EPA should withdraw the Proposed Rule because it weakens wastewater treatment standards for coal plants. They contend that the EPA is unlawfully using broad energy policy goals to justify less stringent pollution limits and that zero-discharge technologies are both available and economically achievable.
Please find the attached Comments with attachments of Earthjustice, Environmental Integrity Project, Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, Center for Biological Diversity, Natural Resources Defense Council, Southern Environmental Law Center, Waterkeeper Alliance, Diné Citizens Against Ruining our Environment, Environmental Law & Policy Center, and Kentucky Resources Council, Inc. urging EPA to withdraw the Proposed Rule.
Sincerely,
