Since the launch of the GAFs Gotta Go/ GAF Vete Ya campaign, several research reports and projects have been completed. They are outlined below.
Environmental Protection Agency GAF Exit Timeline Report
The EPA worked with both West Dallas 1 and Singleton United/Unidos to assess the proposed closure timeline created by GAF. The report below illustrates that GAF’s 2029 closure date and ramp down timeline is unnecessary compared to industry standards. Table 2 below summarizes this finding. The full report illustrates the need for a public process to determine the appropriate closure timeline, not GAF’s arbitrary deadline.
