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 allowfor'pollutiontrading'schemesthatwouldletsomepollutersbuytheirwayoutof

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 usfro
