Duplicate of #91275, #91516 & #91589. I would like to report a harsh smell in my neighborhood constantly going on. Old Castle Infrastructure is using, I believe, certain chemicals so harsh that I am able to smell all the way into my home. It's getting to where it's an issue because my son & I have allergies. It is such a harsh dissolvent that gives us headaches, nausea & I know can't be great for our health at all. I have placed a complaint in the past but I'm sure Old Castle had the perfect cover-up to get them to go away. I hope something can be done about this situation. It's just getting to be to much. Thank you.

Tip or Complaint: Rodriguez landscaping is illegal dumping tree and debris from jobs that their company removes from grading land. They said that they will never get caught and if they did it only be a fine which is less than paying to take it to a landfill. This property is R2 agricultural. Which does not allow this. They have put chairs and grills there to say they are having a bonfire. How to or can you bring a truck load of debris with their dump trucks and unload it and then call it a bonfire. They say that they are being tipped off by someone at the Carroll County zoning when someone is coming to the property. We went to court and was suppose to have another court date but it hasn’t been done.

They do chrome plating and being they are a relatively new shop, they need to have an air filtering system. When I was there, they didn’t have any type of filtering system and the shop looked like a toxic waste pit. I know someone who was just at that shop and it appears nothing has changed. It’s my understanding that older shops don’t need a filtering system and are “Grandfathered In”. As this shop is relatively new, they need to abide by the new clean air standards. I have friends that want to open a chrome plating shop but the cost of the filtering system makes it prohibitively expensive. I work at Delta Airlines and or plating shop has an air filtering system that was required to meet clean air standards.

Initially, on January 13, 2023 the EPD received Complaint ID 102442 for the Old Hickory Clay Company in McIntyre. On January 24, 2023 an investigation of this complaint was conducted by EPD East Central District representatives and it was observed that clay was being tracked onto Railroad Street from the Old Hickory Clay Company plant at 159 Railroad Street in McIntyre. Violations for Industrial Stormwater were observed and will continue to be handled under the initial complaint 102442. In addition, EPD representatives observed baghouse emissions source BH2 emitting excess particulate matter and opacity. The Plant Manager Mr. Rick Day stated some of the baghouse bags had holes in them and needed replacing. There were three boxes of replacement bags on hand and he stated the replacement would be conducted the next day and continued to operate the source. This complaint is being initiated for the clay being tracked on to the paved Railroad Street and for the excess visible emissions observed at the plant from baghouse BH2 stack.

Ms Baker says Bordeau metals is a "mobile" scrap metal recycler that is taking in scrap metals from the demolition of Georgia Power Plant Hammond. She is concerned that they are taking in contaminated debris, possibly old transformers and other materials that are still covered with coal dust. She is concerned that if they are washing these parts before crushing where is the contaminated water going? She is also concerned that if they aren't washing them what about mobilization of the coal dust and dust from the shredding and crushing. She is concerned that they are only allowed to operate during daylight hours but has seen activity as early as 630 am. She is concerned that they are not operating within the environmental regulations and residents are located very close. If more information is needed please call Ms. Baker

Greetings, I’d like to inform you of repeated violation of EPD rules on a federal and state basis occurring in our neighborhood where D. H. Horton (Contractor) is building homes. Please advise if these observations are worthy of your attention by your Air Branch or Land Branch or both. To be fair, I have an extensive background in managing EHS in the US and Globally. Most notably: • Repeated violation of the engine idling expectations of our Federal and State laws; most recently, a diesel truck idling in excess of 45 minutes earlier this afternoon. This is a repeat violation, all of which I have notified our Home Owner’s Association of to little or no avail. In GA, for example, the limit is 15 minutes except when the temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit when it is extended to 25 minutes • Repeated violation of housekeeping standards by knocking down barriers and bunding required to keep loose dirt, wood debris from washing into the street and sewers, thereby creating blockage of sewer gray water exfiltration through the sewer system for proper treatment and disposal, notwithstanding the health issues created by this practice to all of us who live here • Repeated neglect to enforce the general duty clause in the practice of hearing protection, noise mitigation, eye protection (ANSI Z-87.1) and other components of the General Duty Clause; in addition, this is a neighborhood with children, pedestrians and seniors, not a construction zone, yet heavy unloading repeatedly occurs with no ground flagman or other warning to our population (heavy equipment is repeatedly run up an down the street without signals or signalpersons on foot to assure safe transit (most certainly out of your purview, yet an associated concern. I know that our Owner’s Association has sued Horton over similar violations while building in another part of our community without an obvious impact on their behavior and performance I should like to think you would be able to send one of your team to inspect this construction and determine whether or not this complaint(s) is/are valid.

Dear Kathleen Lusky- I was told to contact you following attempted assistance through Daniel Carver who is out on leave. I found him as a point of contact, off the EPA website. It stated that there was private funded programs to allow citizens to utilize particulate matter testing for their area. I am requesting support to do this and requesting the EPA test the Meadowcreek high school property and adjacent neighborhoods in Norcross, Georgia. The site sits adjacent to the extremely large Vulcan quarry that has over 85 violations in multiple states across the country for high Particulate Matter output from Quarry operations. These operations can add to asthma and cancer levels and should immediately be tested on the Meadowcreek High School property. The Vulcan property has been only feet from Meadowcreek for almost 30 years and as far as I know, has NEVER been tested for particulate matter levels in the air or pollution levels in the water that passes underneath the quarry and dumps into a small residential lake, while multiple athletic fields only feet from the site expose young athletes to potentially cancer causing high particulate matter only feet from Vulcan property. There are two High Schools one public, Meadowcreek HS, one private, Atlanta Christian, within one mile of the massive quarry. Can the EPA finally air quality test in this area for a 12 month period? How can a citizen request this Federal agency to finally test the silica level in the water directly across the street in the water downstream of this area? Too long this location and placement of this high school has been unaddressed and its potential danger to student athletes and resident in the low income area? Please Advise.

My name is Marcus Williford; I'm a registered forester in the state (3077); and I do work often with EPD regarding aquatic impacts and restoration. Jackson County has a company or person violating the law in terms of emissions. For a full week now, the area is covered in dense smoke throughout the evening and morning. My house smells like smoke. Neighbors are also complaining. Driving was a true hazard this morning due to smoke. That hazard is fault of the company that ignited. Regardless of outcomes, I think govt agencies must identify the source of this issue. GFC already said they had no permittees.

There is a highly concerning level of smoke that has flooded the neighborhood during these past few days. I have seen that the smoke is a product from land clearing. I am not wanting to make a fuss over land clearing, as it usually causes no interferences or any other issues, but this is affecting a whole community. The smoke is so heavy and thick, that one can not even see any of the road when attempting their daily commute. It is suffocating to just walk outside, even as a healthy young adult. My one year old already has an major impact on his breathing due to the smoke pollution. I can barely see my driveway during the day. I have soot and black ashes in my nose, just from breathing the air in my yard. Local authorities stopped traffic yesterday morning for a couple hours, due to the volume of the smoke and concern for safety. This was a major inconvenience to myself and anyone else who is on a timed schedule. Students are tardy, due to no fault of their own, yet still punished as such. Same as regular employees, or anyone with a scheduled appointment. It seems to be an overexcessive, rushed, and hasty land clearing. It would appear someone is blatantly ignoring the health, safety, wellbeing, and agendas of the people in the surrounding community, for their own benefits.

From ask EPD: "Who is monitoring the massive land clearing and filling in of wetlands along Islands Highway in Midway, Georgia? Irreparable harm is being done to this coastal area. Massive land clearing and filling is taking place as local officials are constantly rezoning for warehouses along our rural road. Thousands, if not millions, of trees are being downed. Soon thousands of trucks will be here spreading carcinogens throughout all areas of our community. Why are you not stopping this? There is already not enough water, no sewage treatment plant, moving of silt and soil, air pollution, wetlands pollution, etc. What is being done to stop this? A few months ago we had a gorgeous, pristine coastal area. Are you allowing all this to be destroyed? To reiterate, who is monitoring this disaster officials are creating? The continued devastation of this area must be stopped NOW! It should never have started.

Complainant indicates "Massive amounts of awful smelling gasses released. I work 0.3 miles away from the facility in the USDA Service Center and often times our entire office building is affected by the smell from waste produced from the plant. Spills from the trucks transporting offal away from the facility are common at this facility. One truck spilled waste leaving from the Vienna plant and down I-75 to Cordele before they were aware of the spill. Absolutely in need of an environmental impact inspection/review. I hope that the actions taken in response to this report are in the best interest of the inhabitants of the surrounding area."
