Hope for Water

Prevent a proposed gas stations underground fuel storage tanks from being submerged in the town of Hope's freshwater aquifer and water table.

Why is this important?

Fresh water is valuable and essential to all life. About 1% of freshwater IS groundwater. Does it make sense to put three 15,000 gallon underground fuel storage tanks is a towns freshwater aquifer, water table, against Beaver Brook, and a few miles from the Delaware River? NO, it does not!! This is an environmentally sensitive area, known to be a habitat for threatened and endangered flora and fauna species. Location of site is I-80 West exit 12, in front of Park-and-Ride lot. Your signature today will help preserve freshwater for future generations!
