Dear NRDC Activist,

Fossil fuel pipelines threaten our rivers, streams, and wetlands ... they
can pollute drinking water sources and damage wildlife habitat ... and
they lead to pollution that fuels the climate crisis and threatens our
ability to meet the goals needed to protect our planet.

And yet, dangerous pipeline projects are in the works all across the U.S.

Many of these ill-conceived projects move forward thanks to a loophole
known as Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP12) — a notoriously problematic license
under the Clean Water Act that is used to fast-track pipelines without
proper environmental review.

The Army Corps of Engineers is inviting public comments on NWP12 through
May 27, so we have an important opportunity to close that loophole and
help stop dangerous, climate-busting fossil fuel pipelines from seeing the
light of day.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Biden administration to eliminate NWP12 and close this
disastrous pipeline loophole for good.

NWP12 has allowed fossil fuel companies to build pipelines that threaten
our communities, drinking water sources, and wetlands. This includes the
notorious Dakota Access pipeline that travels under both the Missouri
River and Lake Oahe, a reservoir that is the primary water source for the
Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Compromising this critical water source
would pose an imminent threat to the safety of the Standing Rock Sioux
tribe.

Canceling NWP12 is one major step we can take to protect our clean water
and wetlands and stop disastrous pipeline projects from jeopardizing
communities, our health, and the environment. And blocking dirty energy
pipelines is critical to fighting the climate crisis and securing an
equitable 100% clean energy future.

[ [link removed] ]Dangerous pipelines are a threat to all of us — we must mobilize a
nationwide public outcry that the Biden administration's Army Corps of
Engineers can't ignore. Make your voice heard now.

Together, we've successfully stopped dirty pipelines like the Keystone XL
— and I know we can eliminate other dangerous pipeline projects. Revoking
Nationwide Permit 12 is one key step in the right direction.

[ [link removed] ]Please send a message to the Biden administration today.

Sincerely,
