GLIN==> REMINDER - Public Meetings on Detroit-Windsor Air Quality Concerns

Although the residents of Detroit and Windsor live in different
countries, they are separated by a river that is little more than half a
mile wide. In fact, they live so close to each other that they often
breathe the same air. The International Joint Commission
<http://www.ijc.org/>  (IJC) is hosting two public meetings on
transboundary air quality tonight and tomorrow (June 13-14) in the
following locations:

Windsor, Ontario 
Monday, June 13, 2011
7:00 PM
CAW Hall (Local 444)
1855 Turner Rd.
N8W 3K2

Detroit, Michigan
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
7:00 PM
EDC Auditorium (Room 1507)
Main Engineering, Wayne State Univ.
5050 Anthony Wayne Dr., 48202

 

The IJC invites the public to provide comment on progress by our two
countries to reduce the impact of transboundary air pollution under the
1991 Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement
<http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsregs/usca/index.htm> , work that
remains to be done to protect human health and the environment from
transboundary air pollution, and the issues that should have the highest
priority. As part of its responsibilities under the Agreement, the IJC
will synthesize the views expressed by the public in a public report to
both federal governments. The Progress Report 2010
<http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsregs/usca/docs/2010report.pdf>
describes progress to meet the objectives of the Agreement's annexes on
acid rain and ozone, and addresses public comments on the 2008 Progress
Report. A summary of the report is attached. More information is
available online at www.ijc.org <http://www.ijc.org/> .
