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 local lakes and

streams and promote a healthy economy

Reducing mercury emissions by 90% is achievable at

reasonable cost

. Please approve this planRpOnIVED

our families and our wildlife from unnecessa4 fi

PFFICE

Sincerely,

Y
