NC Environmental Management Commission Public Hearing regarding medical waste incinerators in NC

*** ACTION ALERT ***
IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEARING
4 years is too long to wait for cleaner air!
New rules for medical waste incinerators in North Carolina.

There will be an important public hearing held by the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on September 7 at 7 p.m. at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Of most importance is our request that the EMC require the two medical waste incinerators in NC to comply with the new and more protective EPA rules by 2012 instead of 2014. Releasing these toxic air pollutants at the current unsafe levels for another 4 years is unacceptable!

Please come early to sign up to speak. Members of the public are encouraged to attend in person to show the level of public concern re: this issue. You will be given 3 minutes to speak. Please bring a copy of your comments to give to the hearing officer.
