BARC meeting tomorrow

Just a reminder that the Bay Area Resource Council, on which I serve, will meet tomorrow to discuss several important issues:

The Bay Area Resource Council (BARC) will hold a public forum on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at Pensacola City Hall, Hagler-Mason Conference Room, located at 222 W Main Street. The meeting is being held from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Guest Speakers include the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida, Escambia County Department of Health, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, U.S. Coast Guard, BP and U.S. EPA, Region IV. Speakers will provide an update on how local, state, and federal governments and others are responding to Deepwater Horizon Oil Clean and Clean-up efforts including short-term and long-term goals. In addition, there will be discussion about the environmental and public health effects (air and water) of dispersants being used as well as other areas of concern.

A representative from Florida Emerald Coast Clean Cities Coalition will discuss the Clean Cities Program and lessening our dependency on foreign and domestic oil.
