People's Hearing for the Clean Power Plan

On November 28 and 29, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is holding a public hearing in Charleston about its plans to dismantle a key rule, known as the Clean Power Plan, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas pollution. This is the only hearing planned for the entire country.

Your voice in support of the Clean Power Plan is vital!

Though the window for registering to speak at EPA’s hearing has passed, we invite you to attend the nearby People’s Hearing hosted by Sierra Club. This event is being planned to accommodate more speakers than will be able to testify at EPA’s public hearings.

EVENT DETAILS:

WHAT: The People’s Hearing on the Clean Power Plan hosted by the Sierra Club

WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

WHERE: Geary Student Ballroom, University of Charleston, 2300 MacCorkle Ave. SE, Charleston, WV 25304

OTHER: Sierra Club will have all speakers recorded via court reporter and those oral comments will be officially submitted into the EPA docket.

• Lunch will be provided to those who join the People’s Hearing starting at noon in the Appalachian Room on campus.
• Sierra Club is coordinating free shuttle buses between the EPA hearings (approximately 2 miles away) and the People’s Hearing.
• Even if you do get to speak at the EPA hearing you are still encouraged and welcome to give your testimony again at the People’s Hearing, particularly if you have more to say than you were allowed in the time allotted by EPA.
