Without clean water, life is not possible. When your water is threatened- will you speak up for it? Here's your chance..💦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tomorrow is the deadline to submit your comments to the Georgia EPD telling them to protect Georgia's water by holding Georgia Power accountable for responsible clean up of toxic coal ash at Plant Hammond and across the state! 💦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If the coal ash is left in unlined pits it will be a forever pollution problem for our watershed! Find out more about this issue and submit your comments through the link in our bio today! 🐟

Water can't demand justice and accountability - but you can!

Arsenic and groundwater just don't belong together

Arsenic and groundwater just don't belong together! ☢️ But, at Plant Hammond on the Coosa River in Rome, Georgia arsenic and other toxic chemicals are being allowed to leech into the groundwater from unlined coal ash pond 3. 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, Georgia Power wants to leave this toxic waste as a forever pollution problem! ☠️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Georgia EPD should exercise proper stewardship over state water quality, rather than granting permits to Georgia Power to use our groundwater as a permanent waste dump for coal ash.

Wanna do something about it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️Submit your comments online by 9/10 to Georgia EPD about Plant Hammond’s 1.1 million ton unlined pond and urge the agency to require proper disposal in a lined landfill. Link to comment is in the bio!

☑️Join CRBI for a community form on what's happening next Tuesday, September 7th at 6pm on Zoom! (details in our bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
