Dear Members Of The Illinois Pollution Control Board :

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 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 lpcal lakgs and

I Support Strong Mercury Controls

Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board :

Mercury pollution from Illinois coal plants is a danger to our health and our environment . Please make sure

Illinois' mercury rule :

- Requires coal plants to reduce their mercury pollution by 90 percent by 2009

-

Does not allow for "pollution trading" schemes that would let some polluters buy their Way out of

cleaning up

-

Does not contain loopholes that would let some coal plants avoid installing the best available

pollution controls.

We should do everything we can to protect our children and all of us from the health threats posed by mercury

pollution . I urge you to protect our kids by adapting the strongest po

ble limiupn rpercyypolly - from coal

plants.
