ACTION ALERT!
ATTEND IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEARING ON LIMERICK NUCLEAR PLANT’S WATER PERMITS FOR USE AND ABUSE OF OUR VITAL WATER SUPPLIES 8-28-12
IT’S OUR WATER!
Don’t Let Exelon Get Away With, In Essence, “Eminent Domain”, of Our Water Resources In Parts of Six Counties For Limerick Nuclear Plant Operations and Exelon Profits.
GET THE FACTS. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
Let DEP And DRBC Know How You Feel About Exelon Using And Abusing Our Water For Profit At Limerick Nuclear Plant, While We Risk Having No Water or Water Too Radioactive To Use Safely!
WE NEED SAFE WATER! WE DON’T NEED LIMERICK NUCLEAR PLANT!
Limerick’s electric goes to the grid, supplying only ½ of 1% of our nation’s energy. It’s sold across several states, but we face unprecedented use and abuse of our water. Safer energy alternatives are ready now, that won’t threaten our water supply.
SPEAK OUT OR LET YOUR PRESENCE BE YOUR VOICE!
TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2012, 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.
Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown
PERMIT CHANGES MUST BE MADE TO PROTECT OUR WATER.
Limerick Nuclear Plant’s Unprecedented Private Use and Abuse of Our Waters Could Get Worse.
SAY NO to Limerick’s dangerous discharges into the Schuylkill River, which include radiation and cooling tower toxics with NO LIMITS.
SAY NO to increased use of our water from many sources and unrestricted use in the event of an accident or meltdown of all sources, including Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers, groundwater, and others.
SAY NO, in essence, to a DRBC CZAR, who would unilaterally decide whether Exelon is required to compensate you for damages if Limerick renders your well or surface water dry or otherwise unusable from radiation.
