"Duke Energy Sprays Hazardous Herbicides Public Danger"

Please email:
HP MAYOR, BECKY SMOTHERS, becky.smothers@highpointnc.gov
Ask for a "No Spray Zone"
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, PRICEY HARRISON, Priceyh@ncleg.net

STATE REPRESENTATIVE, LAURA WILIEY, Lauraw@ncleg.net

NC DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, STEVE TROXLER, STEVE.TROXLER@ncmail.net

GOVERNOR MIKE EASLEY, governor.office@ncmail.net

Duke Energy sprayed the Piedmont Environmental Center, High Point, NC with hazardous herbicides without public warning or notifications. Not required in North Carolina. The public should have a right to know when exposed to hazardous herbicides. Ask the Mayor of High Point for a "No Spray Zone" by Duke Energy. Duke Energy will honor this request if the proper paper work is filled out. The City of High Point has refused to ask for a "No Spray Zone"! This puts the public at risk and our drinking water source High Point City Lake at risk.

It should be a basic human right to know when being subjected to hazardous pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals.

[CitizensNC]

All people of North Carolina should have the basic human right of knowing when they are exposed to hazardous herbicides and chemicals in a public park by a utility company such a Duke Energy. There need to be laws and ordinances to protect the public and its drinking water sources.
