Dear Friends & Concerned Citizens ~~ April 27, 2020
*Please note that this alert contains a petition that is new and has not yet been shared. The previous alert was about sending in hearing requests for this facility.*
During a global pandemic, after the public was asked to stay at home, three companies proposed barge loading/unloading facilities along the Ohio River for radioactive oil & gas waste. If permitted, these facilities would put the drinking water for millions of people at risk. The waste, which contains radioactive materials, heavy metals and toxic chemicals, would be transported along the river from unknown locations for disposal or reused for more oil & gas operations.
Millions get their water straight from the river and many towns and cities along the Ohio River also get their drinking water from shallow aquifers that are highly susceptible to Ohio River contamination.
Tell Army Corp and Coast Guard we do not want ANY oil & gas waste being shipped along the Ohio River.

Submit individual comments. HERE are instructions on how to submit comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Coast Guard about these facilities.
A map of the three facilities that are proposed: 4K Industrial in Martins Ferry, OH, Deep Rock in Marietta, OH and Fountain Quail in Meigs County, OH, is shown below:

Please let us know if you have any questions about any of this. You can reply to this email and we will get your message. We will keep everyone updated on if we get a public hearing or comment period extension for this permit or not. We have submitted over 50 requests so far. We have until the end of April to get requests in. We want to make sure that citizens have an opportunity to be heard and have their questions answered.
Yours truly, Concerned Ohio River Residents
