Some of the most beautiful national parks in the Southwest include those located in such states as California, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada and Utah, just to name a few. Tourists visit many of these breathtaking areas for the beautiful landscapes, valleys, mountains, valleys, amazing wildlife and glorious environment.
Such beauty can be found in Utah State and national parks where you would find pockets of desert solitude among the sunny yellow cottonwoods, snow-covered red rocks and colorful spring wildflowers. The concern is in the preservation and conservation of the beauty and clean air in such parks. The Rocky Mountain Power is urged to clean up two of Utah’s dirtiest coal-fired power plants affecting the clean air of Utah’s parks.

The EPA has proposed some plans that would help preserve the beauty and clean air of these parks. One such proposal is the “Clean Parks” plan that would call for a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide pollution from four units at the Hunter and Huntington coal plants using industry-standard pollution controls, like those already in use at 250 similar coal plants nationwide.
The effort in this petition is to urge the EPA to make national parks like these a priority and require the “Clean Parks” plan that would improve the beauty and clean air of some of the nation’s more precious and treasured national parks like those in the Southwest. You can join in this effort by signing and sharing this petition, adding your own comments and thoughts on how we need to conserve these natural beauties and environments.
EPA – I strongly urge you to support the “Clean Air” plan that would call for a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide pollution from four units at the Hunter and Huntington coal plants using industry-standard pollution controls, like those already in use at 250 similar coal plants nationwide. The current proposal for Utah’s regional haze would reduce the 12,989 tons of nitrogen oxide pollution from four units at Hunter and Huntington annually while the new Clean Air plan would cut nitrogen oxide pollution from the four units at Hunter and Huntington by 76 percent. Please make the right choice and protect these national parks, conserving their beauty and clean air.
