Letter: 'By highlighting the issues of methane in the Uinta Basin, we can help inform our communities of the severity and long-term dramatic effects it will have on our health and climate.'
By highlighting the issues of methane in the Uinta Basin, we can help inform our communities of the severity and long-term dramatic effects it will have on our health and climate. I’ve recently visited the town of Vernal and experienced the murky air firsthand. While having a discussion with some of its concerned citizens, they expressed how disheartened they are that the community does not understand the devastating impacts of the methane in the air.
The EPA released a rule proposal focusing on more safeguards to limit and prevent methane leaks, and this proposal would dramatically affect our Uinta Basin and help slow the effects of global climate change. The EPA is accepting public comments concerning this rule proposal until Feb. 18. I encourage The Salt Lake Tribune to help educate our communities to spark that same passion for our beautiful lake and direct it also toward our methane-polluted communities.
