Take Action!!

Stop the EPA's Proposal to Exempt Factory Farms from

Right-to-Know Laws

A new Environmental Protection Agency proposal would exempt factory farms from having to report dangerous releases of toxic chemicals. Though the EPA requires manufacturing facilities to report large releases of harmful chemicals like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, under the new rule factory farms, which release millions of pounds of the same toxic chemicals, will not have to report them.
People who live near these facilities should have the right to know what hazardous chemicals they are being exposed to.

Tell the EPA that Factory Farms should not be exempt from these important laws.

SIERRA CLUB OPPOSES NESTLE PLANT

MORE INFORMATION

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Please urge the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors to deny the McCloud Bottling Plant. Here’s some sample text.

Nestlé’s plans for McCloud are known far and wide. People like me are very concerned about
the future of this beautiful area and the local communities if Nestlé’s plans to take 1,600
acre feet of water every year for 99 years are allowed to go forward. Who knows what
will happen to the snow pack on Mt. Shasta with global warming? Nestlé will still have its
right to all the water!

I urge you to let the people of Siskiyou County vote on whether or not they want Nestlé to
take their water and build a massive water extraction and bottling operation at the foot of
Mt. Shasta. But first everyone in the county must be fully informed. All studies and all
communication with Nestlé must be made public. The people must have an opportunity
to review and discuss all relevant information and consider other ways to revitalize
McCloud’s economy that won’t rob McCloud and the county of its precious water. Water is
life. It should be protected as a public trust for people and nature for all time. I urge you to let
the people decide!

Sincerely.........
