www.sierraclub.org/sierra/200805/goodgoing.aspOn Friday, April 18, the Environmental Management Commission passed a rule change that will reduce the allowable cancer risk levels in Alabama’s waterways from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 1 million!
This initiative was first brought to the Commission’s attention by the Alabama Rivers Alliance and 17 other environmental organizations in the spring of 2007. After almost of year of hard work by the citizens and the Commission, the right decision was made today! We commend the Environmental Management Commission for making this decision and all of the citizens and organizations who worked so hard to keep it moving forward.
The Alabama Rivers Alliance would especially like to thank attorney, David Ludder, who has been a steadfast source of leadership, knowledge, and hard work on all of these initiatives.
