close pollution loopholes

 

Protect Fenceline Communities by Ending FREE PASSES TO POLLUTE:
Close All Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction (SSM) Loopholes

Sign the petition  here to urge EPA to take swift and clear action to eliminate all startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) loopholes to deliver cleaner air and safer neighborhoods for overburdened communities across the country. 

Sierra Club and partners are working to defend EPA's SSM rule prohibiting loopholes in State implementation plans and pushing EPA to take decisive action to remove all SSM loopholes from all Clean Air Act rules. The EPA and States must require industry to make the needed investments to prevent malfunctions, prepare for extreme weather, and be able to comply with pollutions limits on a daily basis.

proliferation of LNG on Louisiana coast

 LNG facilities and LNG export terminals rapidly developing along Louisiana's fragile coast.

TAKE ACTION SUBMIT COMMENTS BY MARCH 15th

Say NO to the Commonwealth Liquified Natural Gas export terminal proposed for the western side of Calcasieu Pass. This project would destroy and impact the most important known site in Louisiana for Eastern Black Rail (which is a marsh bird), which was added to the Endangered Species List in 2020. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) held a hearing earlier this week in Cameron, Louisiana.

The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources will accept written comments submitted through the portal linked here. The deadline to submit is March 15th!!! Need help developing comments? Check out this one pager by Sierra Club and Healthy Gulf.
