Ban Mountain top Removal & Metallic Mining in Maine

by: Craig Terrell
recipient: Maine DEP, EPA and Maine Legislators

Its clear that the Maine DEP and a few Legislators would pass a law allowing Metallic Mining in dangerous deposits in Maine. Allowing loosely written laws to pollute the pristine waters of Maine. Please send a message loud and clear No degradation of our waters! No Mountain top removal, No more mining superfund clean-ups allowed. Stop the permitting of Metallic Mining in Maine at once.

Metallic Mining laws in Maine are not strong enough and the DEP refused to slow down the process and invole stake holders. It is clear thier intention is to discharge pollutents into the waters and deprive Maines residents of the substinence they have relied on for hundreds of years. Please send them a clear Message and sign this petition and share it.
