To: The West Virginia State House, The West Virginia State Senate, and Governor Jim Justice
STAND UP FOR CLEAN WATER IN WV
DEMAND THE RESIGNATION OF WV DEP CHIEF AUSTIN CAPERTON
Why is this important?
As one of the participants in the Federal 401 Lawsuit against WV DEP that demanded that WV DEP do its job and protect WV Citizens and it's Water Resources, I am more than appalled at the actions of WV DEP Chief Austin Caperton and WV DEP in reinstating the Stormwater Permit without adequate review for the MVP and by giving up their authority to protect our waters through the 401 water quality permit for both the MVP and the ACP.
This is far and beyond the MVP or ACP or any pipeline, This is about whether West Virginians deserve Clean Water. You either stand up for clean water or you do not.
I demand that Austin Caperton either resign or that Governor Justice fire him ASAP for his total disregard to WV citizens. I implore you to join me in that effort. WV DEP has some really great employees that are truly concerned about the environment, but the leadership needs to change and allow them to do their jobs. I call on all our lawmakers to publicly stand up for WV Citizen's right to clean water and a clean environment. Anyone that does not take this stand needs to be removed from office by the citizens of our state.
Sincerely,
Maury Johnson
