Funding the Appeal of the Air Quality Permit

     As you probably already know, the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued an Air Quality Permit (posted in the Resources section) 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.

    On November 24th, 2011, Dr. Robert Concilus and Leah Humes filed an appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board. The appeal outlines fifteen legal objections to the Air Quality Permit issued by the Pensylvania DEP to Crawford Renewable Energy for the proposed tire burning plant. 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, and it will provide answers to the many questions that still remain about the facility and the emissions it would produce.   Dr.Concilus and Leah Humes are following the legal avenues open to them to fight for the environment and safety of Northwestern Pennsylvania (and beyond). 

Your donation will help us reach our goals and support the legal fees, expert witness costs, and other expenses. With your help, we can win this appeal!
