Pollution Control Board

D

I urge you to adopt strong controls that, by 2009, would cut coal

plant mercury pollution

by 90% .

Every river, lake, and stream in Illinois now carriers 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 healthy economy .

Reducing mercury emissions by 90% is achievable at reasonable

cost. Please approve

this plan to protect our families and our wildlife from unnecessary

harm .

Thank you for your kind consideration of this important proposal

.
