The Ozark Society and the Arkansas Public Policy Panel need your help to ban NEW medium and large confined swine operations in the Buffalo National River Watershed (BNRW). On December 5th, the House and Senate Committees of Public Health, Labor and Welfare and Agriculture, Forestry and Economic Development will meet to review our proposed changes Pollution Control and Ecology Commission Regulations 5 and 6.
Contact YOUR representatives that serve on these Committees and ask them to support these changes. Below is a link to PC&E talking points to assist you in calling, writing or emailing Committee Members. Calling is preferred.
The hearing on December 5tth is open to the public. While public comments might be accepted, we have lined up individuals to provide testimony, and believe it would be most beneficial to contact Committee Members prior to the hearing. We are asking you to attend the hearing but not to speak. There is a limited amount of time available and we are concerned about losing a quorum.
