West Virginia State Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation








    If you hunt or shoot firearms this is one of the most important
    alerts you may ever receive. The Environmental Protection Agency
    (EPA) is considering a petition filed by the Center for Biological
    Diversity and the American Bird Conservancy to ban all traditional
    ammunition that has a lead core.

    The EPA has published the petition and relevant supplemental
    information as Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OPPT-2010-0681. If you would like
    to read the original petition and see the contents of this docket folder,
    please click here. In order to go directly to the ‘submit a comment’ page
    for this docket number, please click here.

    Steps to take:

            1. Submit comment online to the EPA.

             2. Contact Lisa Jackson directly to voice your opposition to  the ban:
                            Lisa P. Jackson
                            Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
                            1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
                            Washington, DC 20460
                Phone: (202) 564-4700
                            Fax: (202) 501-1450
                            Email: jackson.lisa@epa.gov

    3. Call our senators and your representative in Congress and tell
    them this back door attempt to ban lead ammunition is wrong not
    only scientifically but that Congress exempted ammunition from the
    Toxic Substance Control Act in 1976.
