| Court Rules EPA Violated the Law by Evading Required Power Plant Mercury Reductions Washington, D.C. — A federal appeals court ruled that a rulemaking by the Environmental Protection Agency violates the Clean Air Act by evading mandatory cuts in toxic mercury pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants violates the law. The decision invalidates the agency’s so-called “Clean Air Mercury Rule,” which would have allowed dangerously high levels of mercury pollution to persist under a weak cap-and-trade program that would not have taken full effect until well beyond 2020.

| Invasive Species Web Site Launched March 31, 2008 In the interest of cross-programmatic collaboration, a Service-wide invasive species Web site has been created. The Web site provides information on FWS programs involved in invasive species type work, partnerships and grants, relevant laws and regulations, as well as news and resources. Click to visit website Invasive Exotic Plants In Pennsylvania List The primary purpose of this list is to identify those plants that are invasive and cause damage to native plant communities. The intention is to foster early detection so that land managers can implement management actions to prevent exotics from becoming established. It is also intended to educate land managers and the public in an effort to eliminate the use of invasives in landscaping, restoration and enhancement projects. |

| News Texas -Farmers, pecan growers say coal plant kills plants Along a stretch of Highway 21, in Texas' pastoral Hill Country, is a vegetative wasteland. Trees are barren, or covered in gray, dying foliage and peeling bark. Fallen, dead limbs litter the ground where pecan growers and ranchers have watched trees die slow, agonizing deaths. ....................................................................................................................... News - Study Finds Chromium 6 in Tap Water of 31 U.S. Cities Hexavalent chromium. Does that name sound familiar to you? Otherwise known as chromium 6, hexavalent chromium is a chemical that can lead to cancer, respiratory problems and other health issues. It does exist in our water supplies but usually at a low level, which is deemed “safe.” The name Erin Brokovich should help ring a bell. In the early 1990’s, Brokovich made headlines for her work in the legal fight against Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) when it was discovered that chromium 6 from PG&E’s pipeline in Hinkley, CA was contaminating drinking water, leading to serious medical issues in area residents. It was a landmark case, and ended in PG&E paying $333 million in damages to Hinkley residents. ....................................................................................................................... Our forests are at risk from natural gas drilling, and only you can save them. One-third of state forest lands, or about 700,000 acres, are already open to natural gas exploration and extraction. But gas drillers are pushing for more land, and Governor Rendell has proposed leasing additional state lands to help close the budget gap. Our precious state parks and forests cannot be used as an ATM. Some of our major industries - outdoor tourism, recreation and sustainable timbering - rely on well-managed, protected lands in order to thrive. Gas drilling operations would mean building roads and pipelines through pristine lands, and would pose an immense risk to quality waterways. Environmental News |
