Dear Members Of The Illinois Pollution Control Board

:

I urge you to adopt strong controlsthat, by 2009, would

cut coal plant mercury pollution by 90%

.

Every river, lake, and stream in Illinois now carries a health

warning for mercury contamination

. Illinois can address this

problem now and show America how requiring cost-effective

measures for mercury control will clean up local lakes and

streams and promote a heatthy economy

.

.}5

Reducing mercury emissions by 90% is achievable at

reasonable cost

. Please approve this pla

our families and our wildlife from unnecess~
