The ONLY hearing in the US on the New EPA Refinery Rule

BY 1WILDCHERRY11998 · NOVEMBER 16, 2016

To ALL Fenceline communities!

This is is our only chance to tell EPA we are concerned about pollution from oil refineries and its impact on our health. This is the only public hearing EPA will hold anywhere in the country, and public comment will be taken for six hours, from 2-8 pm CT at a local Houston Location.

Hartman Community Center

9311 East Ave. P. Houston, TX 77012 | 2-8PM

We’d like EPA to hear from us and our allies in refinery communities throughout the entire hearing, so please sign up to speak today.

Join us in telling EPA:

• Our health suffers from pollution from oil refineries.

• Our children are particularly at risk from the health effects of air pollution.

• Air pollution affects our lives where we live, work, and play.

• Together we can demand a stronger rule to protect communities from air pollution.

The refining industry must cut pollution by:

• Reducing emissions from flares and pressure relief devices.

• Eliminate pollution exemptions for malfunction and force major events.

• Require fenceline monitoring at all times.
