View this email in your browser Tell Oregon DEQ: Don't permit more air pollution in the Gorge!

Submit a comment today Industrial pollution is a leading cause of haze in the Gorge. (photographer: John Carr) In February, Portland General Electric (PGE) abandoned plans to build two new fracked gas-fired power plants near Boardman, OR. Committing to more fossil fuel generation would certainly have meant more air contamination for the Columbia Gorge and our entire region. PGE’s decision is a direct result of pressure from folks like you. Now you can help stop PGE’s proposal to increase air pollution by EIGHT HUNDRED PERCENT at the existing Carty gas plant. COMMENT NOW!





You can read more about these proposed emission increases by viewing our fact sheet, and you can get more information on this permitting process by viewing the public notice on DEQ's website.



You can help protect our lungs, the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and scenic vistas from PGE’s fracked gas pollution. Please take a moment to comment today! Comment Now
