Get the Trash out of the Bay

September 09, 2010 Subject: Dear Chairman Muller and members of the Board: I urge you to enact measurable reductions in trash in our creeks and the Bay as a requirement in the Water Board's pending Municipal Regional Permit (MRP). Trash and plastic debris pollution is a serious water quality problem in the Bay and its creeks. Cities and counties must do their part to protect the Bay from trash and marine debris, and the MRP is an essential tool to control this problem. Please ensure that trash provisions in the upcoming MRP require measurable reductions in trash discharge, specify enforceable measures and timelines for implementation, and require cities and counties to make their trash data accessible to the public. Thank you for your consideration. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
