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

oG _z)-S

- Does not allow for"pollution trading" schemes that would let some polluters buy1heir 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 adopting the strongest possible limits

on mercury pollution from coal

plants .
