In an attempt to further pressure EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to enforce the Clean Water Act and halt mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR), activists erected two 20-foot-tall, purple tripod structures in front of the agencys headquarters. A pair of activists perched at the top of the tripods have strung a 25-foot sign in front of the EPAs door that reads, EPA: pledge to end mountaintop removal in 2010. Six people are locked to the tripods and say they wont leave unless Administrator Jackson commits to a flyover visit of the Appalachian Mountains and MTR sites, which she has never done before.
