NO to new DEQ on-site generator guidance
 

NO to new DEQ on-site generator guidance.

DEQ-your main job, as a SCIENCE-BASED non-partisan government agency IS to ENSURE residents of the Commonwealth have CLEAN AIR and CLEAN WATER.

This proposed DEQ "guidance demonstrates that our public utility system is broken.

Virginia residents REJECT any more "solutions" that will harm residents and wildlife due to a totally foreseeable problem that has been created due to complete lack of oversight by any elected body.

NO guidance should be considered or approved until the counties most impacted in the Commonwealth have an opportunity to have a full meeting with DEQ representatives.
