House Transportation and Infrastructure – Water Resources and Environment

Chattanooga’s Rep. Charles Fleischman has been getting letters to his home town office from people here who want this bill to pass. Check to see who you have contact with in the home cities of the other members.

This bill restores the Clean Water Act by limiting the definition of “fill” to not include the multiply permitted destruction of mountain streams caused by Mountain Top Removal and Cross Ridge Surface mining practices.

Tennessee already restored the Clean Water Act for our state. But Nashville’s Columbia river is polluted MTR sites in Kentucky! We still have MTR sites in Tennessee and are needing support to pass the Scenic Vistas Act.

I’m trying to find out. Many people in Chattanooga wrote letters to Rep. Floyd who is on the committee. I was wondering if the other committee members have been getting letters from Mountain Lovers in their home cities.
