Decisions about the air we breathe shouldn't happen without us.
The US EPA is proposing to remove federal minium public-participation requirements for Minor New Source Review (NSR) permits.
Comments Due August 21st

Why does this matter?
This change would means polluters no longer have to notify us of what they are building before permits are granted. For reference, the only reason we know about the Falls Township Data Center complex is because of the air permit approval and comment period. So we know first hand how difficult it already is to understand these permits, find information, and know our rights. We can not afford to lose one of the few protections we have.

Public notice and comment periods are often our only chance to ask questions, demand stronger protection, and speak up before these decisions are final.

Please note this is seperate and in addition to the air permit comments due Aug 17th.

Email us at [email protected] with questions, to get involved in this action, get a form letter to customize, or to volunteer with us.

Like and share to spread the word!

PADEP is accepting public comments on Amazon’s proposed air permit through August 16. This is one of our most important opportunities to demand stronger protections.

Email [email protected] and ask DEP to:

* Reject the permit as currently proposed.
* Require Amazon to evaluate cleaner, non-combustion backup alternatives.
* Demand reclassification of this as a “major” pollution source.
* Require stronger monitoring and enforceable pollution limits.
* Require a formal public hearing.
* Push for a coordinated review of the full data-center campus and its cumulative impacts.

Please don’t assume someone else will comment. The number of people who speak up matters. Send your email, then ask three more people to do the same, particularly any friends you have in PA.
