A #sewage leak of 20 million gallons of wastewater into a #ContraCostaCounty wetland could have considerable ecological consequences for fish & wildlife.

As Baykeeper executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh explained to KQED, "When you’ve got a lot of this wastewater discharging in concentrated levels in an area like that, we’re going to see some exposure to chemicals that are in wastewater. That's going to have an impact; whether or not we see that impact in this generation of fish and wildlife or in their next generation is something that we would have to see." https://www.kqed.org/news/12016804/how-major-east-bay-sewage-leak-could-harm-fish-wildlife

Here's How a Major East Bay Sewage Leak Could Harm Fish and Wildlife

An estimated 20 million gallons of wastewater have spilled into the Suisun Marsh in Contra Costa County. That will expose animals to chemicals that are carried in our sewage system.

The Bay Area's first proposed carbon dumping scheme aims to drill an injection well near the Montezuma wetlands, across #SuisunBay from #Pittsburg & #Antioch.

The transport of dangerously compressed CO2 from #FossilFuel facilities around #SFBay would ultimately expand the lifespan of these toxic facilities & put communities at risk.

CA: No CCS in the Bay! Montezuma 101 and Petition Training · Food & Water Watch

The Montezuma NorCal Carbon Sequestration Hub is a proposal to build the Bay Area's first carbon dumping scheme — or what industry calls a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. The project aims to drill an injection well near the Montezuma wetlands, across Suisun Bay from Pittsburg & Antioch. Dangerously compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel facilities around the Bay would be collected and transported by barge and pipeline to the injection site, ultimately expanding the lifespan of the dirty facilities and putting our communities at risk. **Join us to learn more about the project and sign up to petition in your community!** We need all hands on deck to get the word out, educate our communities, and stop this dirty and dangerous project from being built in our backyards.
