Why This Matters

At 11 of Georgia Power’s 12 coal ash sites, toxic chemicals from the coal ash have been polluting nearby wells, streams, and lakes for years. This is unacceptable. Let's be clear: Everyone deserves clean water, no matter what.

Soon, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will release its most important proposals for how it will require Georgia Power to address coal ash pollution at sites around the state. Georgia Power has asked EPD to let them cover 50 million tons of coal ash in unlined landfills. This approach does not prevent toxins from leaking into groundwater. EPD could give Georgia Power’s dangerous plan the green light, leaving us with pollution for generations to come. Are you ready to tell EPD to do what’s right?
