Protect North Carolina's drinking water from coal waste

Sign the petition Dear Administrator Jackson: Coal-ash pits contain numerous toxic pollutants, including arsenic and lead. And North Carolina is home to more high-hazard pits than any other state in the country. As a resident of North Carolina, I urge you to regulate coal ash as a hazardous pollutant, prevent new waste ponds, and phase out existing coal ash ponds. Sincerely,

Come to a forum on Falls Lake

A Triangle favorite for boating, fishing and swimming, Falls Lake is the major drinking water source for nearly half a million Wake County residents, including Raleigh.

But uncontrolled development is threatening it—causing algae blooms that have lead to beach closures, and making the water more expensive to treat.

On Saturday, February 27, Environment North Carolina, along with WakeUP Wake County, Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation and others, host a forum on the pollution problems facing Falls Lake and what you can do about it.
