The EPA has recommended a veto for the Yazoo Pumps Project - a plan proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers to build the world's largest hydraulic pumping plant in the middle of Mississippi.
An EPA veto of this harmful plan would protect over 200,000 acres in an area containing some of the richest natural resources in the nation.
Take Action! Tell EPA Administrator Johnson that you support a veto of the Yazoo Pumps plan.Learn more here.

"Peak water" -- potable water to sustain our environment is the next world crisis. And it's time we stop messing with the water table -- if our already-fragile ecology collapses it's going to wreak havoc with our very survival as a culture, as a country, even as a species.

What are you thinking? And what kind of drugs are on? Whatever it is it has killed your brain cells and you are unable to function rationally and sanely. Excuse yourselves and retire from your position so someone with living brain matter can take over and do your jobs correctly.

Do whatever is necessary to keep your veto strong, so that the Yazoo Pumps project gets rejected. We don't need to see damage done to the wetlands.

We have lost too much of our wetlands and associated wildlife as it is. We need to restore wetlands, not continue the loss of them - thus I applaud your veto of the the Yazoo Pumps project.
