Stand With Eagle Pass

From the Sierra Club –

The Dos Republicas coal mine stands to contaminate Elm Creek, which feeds into the Rio Grande River, with toxic chemicals and heavy metals. This would make the water unsafe for drinking, recreation, and will undermine local economies.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is expected to rubberstamp this water permit, but the people of Eagle Pass — a Texas border community located down the road from the Dos Republicas coal mine — need your support to make their voices heard.

Approving a permit to dump this poison into Elm Creek will threaten the rivers and anyone who uses them for food, sport or recreation.
