The
Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board - Case Number: 2011167
Funding the Appeal of the
Air Quality Permit
As you probably already
know, the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently
issued an Air Quality Permit (posted below) to Crawford Renewable
Energy (CRE) for its proposed 100-megawatt tires-to-energy plant in
Crawford County. CARE believes there's a basis to win an appeal to the
Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board, and we are asking for your
help in funding the appeal.
This appeal remains the last
hope for addressing the permit for the proposed facility. It
will make the plant
cleaner
and safer if it is built. Our CARE members are following the
legal avenues open to fight for the environment and safety of
Northwestern Pennsylvania (and beyond). The contamination and
death of Geneva Marsh will cause irreplaceable loss of a regional
environmental resource. Unopposed construction of this plant
will
encourage construction of similar facilities in the region and in the
country.
Your donation will help us reach our goals and
support the appeal filing efforts, expert witness costs, and other
expenses. With your help, we can win this appeal!
