Delaware Coastal residents unaware they have been exposed to one of most toxic

[Guest guest]

One of the Last Soft Coal Burning Plants in our back yard.

Everyone on the east coast should be made aware. Especially those who have summer homes or vacation in Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach Delaware. I know a number of Senators and senior government officals fall into that catagory. When they relaize it may affect them hopefully action will be taken!!! Residents have had to have drinking water trucked in because of toxins and they are not even given accruate info. why. Mercury and lead cadium is off charts in some cases!

The special school for autics children is overwhelmed!We have been ask by Coastal Delaware residents to help inform residents about the dangers of toxins, especially mercury.

When they said the 1st week in Feb, had hoped it would be weekend and O'Hara had agreed to speak, but it's on a Thursday night and she won't be down until Friday night. I know some schools out that Friday.

If anyone is available to come and provide information and answer questions, I have not even been able to keep up with the number of phone calls from local residents. And I am just getting started on the all the techinal information on the mixed bag you get w/ a soft coal burning plant,that someone like O'Hara MD, Dr.Boyd Haley, Dr. Gierer's or Dr. Green would know like back of their hands and be able to provide no problem.

As you can imagine environmental mercury combined with the "normal vaccines and rhogram" make for an even greater toxic load for these citizens.

The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Thursday, February 2, at the meeting room of St. ’s Church in downtown Lewes.

It is no surprise that the special school for austic children is overwhelmed.

Please forward to anyone you think may be able tohelp. If its just in a supportive or imformative e-mail, I will be glad to read on your behalf.

If you want to make a weekend let me know a local person hasoffered to donate a couple rooms. Let me know if you can attend.

Thank you this is one group of people that I know will do their best!

By SpenceCape Gazette staffMercury-contaminated residents, oncologists and new residents whothought they were moving to paradise are among new members of anexpanding grassroots organization that seeks to reduce toxic Indian River power plant emissions.Once a loosely organized, rag-tag group, the Citizens for CleanerPower (CCP) is becoming more visible. Almost 40 new members surfaced Jan. 3 in Lewes to form subcommittees,email lists and a statement of purpose in what may be Delaware's first activist group targeting the plant that was built in 1956.Nearly 46 percent of Delaware's sulfur dioxide output comes from the plant. The old coal-powered plant, grandfathered by the Clean Air Act of 1973, has been operating for 50 years without pollution control equipment required of more modern plants. Among the toxins it spits out are arsenic, mercury and lead.

But, after a documentary produced by Wesley College student MikeShort exposed some of the plants hazards, new residents have beenadded to the groups roster.Recently, under political pressure, Dominion Energy in Virginiaallocated $500 million to clean up nine coal-fired plants.State-enforced pollution-reduction measures may be ineffective,however, as contaminants from the nation's rust belt and theNortheast fall onto Delaware's shores. Others say toxins from NewCastle County – the states industrial sector – may be the cause oflocally found pollutants.-----------------Forwarded Message:
