Environmental Groups Praise EPA’s First-Ever Clean Air Protections for Fracking

Agency Takes Important First Step to Protect Air Quality and Public Health

Washington, D.C.—On April 18 environmental groups praised the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) vital updates to nationwide air quality protections to include oil and natural gas production.  This is the first federal safeguard aimed at curbing air pollution from hydraulic fracturing or ‘fracking.’

FLINT – Clean Water Action (CWA), Michigan’s largest environmental organization, today endorsed Dan Kildee in Michigan’s 5th Congressional District, which encompasses all of Genesee, Bay, Iosco and Arenac Counties, part of Saginaw County – including the city of Saginaw – and part of Tuscola County. CWA has over one million members nationally and 250,000 in Michigan and is concerned with our environment, health, economic well-being and community quality of life.
