This post has been updated to reflect the EPA’s 60-day extension of the public comment period. The previous comment period was set to expire Nov. 22, 2014. The extended comment period will expire Jan. 20, 2015.
The EPA recently proposed that the 35th Avenue Superfund Site be added to their National Priority List (NPL). Prioritizing the north Birmingham area will allow the federal government to fund the ongoing cleanup. This is a critical designation, because the polluting companies involved have not been compelled to pay.
Please join GASP in supporting our neighbors in north Birmingham communities. The comment period closes Jan. 20, 2015. Take action below to submit comments by mail, email or online.
[THIS ACTION IS NOW CLOSED]
