Subject: [TennesseeWhitewater] streams in danger


The Bush administration is about to change a longstanding rule that would
make it easier for mining companies to destroy streams and valleys by
filling them with sludge, rock and other coal mining waste.

There is less than 30 days open for public comments before it could take
effect.

The NRDC has created a simple way of making making your voice heard:

Please share this link with your friends and family. There is very little
news coverage on this and the measure could slide through in the final
hours
of the Bush administration without the public ever knowing.

Here's two articles that spell out what the proposal will do:
