Complainant is concerned about a motocross track that was built next to his property. He stated that many trees have been cut down and the track is all dirt. Whenever it rains, sediment is flowing into a creek that flows behind the complainant's property. He is also concerned about air quality due to the dust that is caused by this track. The complainant stated that the track has been there for about 5 years. The track has continued to expand and a large slop has been created causing significant runoff during rain events.

Mr. Horton is concerned that Freon handling practices at the Scott Walker Heating and Air (SWHA) business location in Newnan, GA are not in compliance with environmental regulations. Specifically, according to Mr. Horton, SWHA employees bring used compressor units (from sites / residences where the company installs new units) and discharge the Freon lines / compressor units in open air. According to Mr. Horton, the Freon should be collected under vacuum at the job site.

When EPD was here many years ago, this place was called “Southern Industrial Chemicals Inc.” But it’s still run by the same man. Wayne Chandler. The railroad people CSX complained about chemicals, dust and fumes coming out the back of the building. They are still coming out of the back of the building. EPD ordered him to get a fume scrubber and a dust collector. He did that. As soon as EPD signed off on it he took them out. The remains of the fume scrubber is still out there. The dust collector is here but has not been in service for approximately 20 years. This company blends liquid and some powdered products containing Chromic Acid. The records show that batches can contain as much as 15% by weight of Chromic Acid and more than 200 Tons of Chromic Acid have been used here. With no fume scrubbers and no dust collection. Where is that dust going? Nickel metal is also used here to react Nickel salts. This solution ran out the back door and into the city sewer in the back parking lot. The evidence is as plane as day if you looked. I am sending a video of them exhausting Nitric Acid / Hydrochloric Acid mixture fumes directly into the air in the back lot. And there is more…if you come I will show you. I will try to send the video in another email. I can only attach 3MB.

Received an email: Hi Ms. Wix and Councilman Winston, I'm writing to alert you to the ongoing and concerning smell in Lakewood Heights. I strongly suspect it is coming from Environmental Remedies and their industrial treatment facility, since it's a chemical smell. As you can see below, I also reached out to Environmental Remedies directly. If you Google the business (I hope this link works), you will see some negative "reviews" by other neighbors because of the air quality issues they've been causing. I understand they provide an important service, but it does not seem that an active industrial wastewater treatment plant belongs in a residential area with ever-increasing density. I hope there's a way that this issue can be addressed. My neighbors and I really appreciate your help. Thank you, Sarah White

Follow up to above referenced complaint: CTS 102802 It is now several months since this initial complaint and as I suspected, the business is now once again exhausting fumes that have a very strong odor and are causing me to be nauseous in my own yard and home. I would ask that you send a different investigator who will actually perform a thorough investigation on these toxic fumes. The following is a draft of an email that I composed, but never sent with the hopeful expectation this matter was resolved. Clearly, it is not: I would invite each of you to review the complaint, and the subsequent report/investigation of my complaint. It was my hope that you would find no toxic chemicals and put at ease my mind and concerns over what I and my neighbors are inhaling. After reviewing the report online, I spoke with Mr. Mark Peake this morning in regards to his investigation and report. Unfortunately, this did very little to ease my concerns. As stated in the report and confirmed in our conversation this morning, he did no actual monitoring or testing of the emissions from the building. The fan was not running. Fumes were not being exhausted. He did not specify, approve or audit the source of the emissions. He did not physically inspect the chemicals being used. He conducted a cursory tour of the property and subsequently allowed the owners to self report on the amounts and types of chemicals being used. In addition, he allowed them to self report on the data sheets and provide them to him in a delayed response a week or two later. In my opinion, this was little more than a telephone interview could have accomplished, not a thorough investigation. And as of today, miraculously, the fan is once again running, and exhausting fumes, which have absolutely no odor at all. Imagine that! I am certainly pleased to report that I am not inhaling nauseous fumes. However, I do not consider this matter closed, and I am highly concerned that it will continue once the owners believe they are no longer being monitored. In addition, Mr. Peake found it necessary to reprimand me when I inquired as to a valid permit for this business. He stated the owners are not required to have a permit for any air quality emissions and the business was allowed there long before this residential neighborhood was built. I would invite him or you to verify those comments. My home was built in the 1930s. This neighborhood was platted and developed before that time and I know for a fact that business has not been operational for 90 years. I submitted a simple request to my government agency after speaking with the owner multiple times over the course of 5 years about the condition of the property, and he refused with a sly grin to participate in any type of voluntary cleanup. I have even suggested that a baffle be placed on the building to direct those fumes up rather than directly into my residence. I’m not asking for his livelihood to be affected. I’m asking for a simple, commonsense remedy so that we can all live without toxic air in our homes.

Response from Ms. Kirby via email: This is in reference to Faircloth Forest Products "Air Permit", that was run in The Blade. Let me begin by saying that THE CLEAN AIR ACT protects health and welfare from different types of air pollution. This mill is already not following the act and with growth and additions, it will comply even less. Our property is approximately 300 yards from this saw mill and we deal with the air pollution daily! There are many problems that already affect us daily with existing mill without the approval of additions that you seem to want to approve. The noise level is already unbearable at most times and it has taken away all of our peace and tranquility. We can not enjoy being at home for all the NOISE! At the same time, we are dealing with fallout from the mill such as smoke/smog settling down on us and constant sour smells. There is a loud humming noise from the pellet mill that has increased as well. Also this year, we have an additional problem of wood chips (sawdust) falling on our property, particularly our vehicles. They have been covered with this fallout and I have advised a lawyer in Swainsboro along with pictures as documentation. Our car detailer has told us that this residue will damage the paint on our vehicles!! Keep in mind that we are breathing all this stuff into our lungs and God only knows what it is doing to our health and breathing. We have valid concerns already with existing problems, this expansion will add to the levels of gases and different chemicals being released into the air and providing even greater damage to our health. I know that you state this will be monitored, but I think these reports should be published and mailed to neighbors of the mill. I also believe that a public hearing should be conducted to address the issues that are current and any issues the expansion may cause. The method and frequency of monitoring should be discussed and any questions should be answered at this time. The notice of public comment was hidden in our local paper in the middle of legal ads. It should have been on a page in bold print so it was easily seen and should have been broadcast on our local radio station. In addition, a personal letter should have been sent out to landowners within a 5-mile radius. I strongly feel that I have legitimate concerns that need to be addressed. It is my understanding that laws, rules and any government decisions should be fair to ALL people, not just one group pr entity. Ms. Kirby has spoken with Richard MacNeely, a local lawyer in Swainsboro who represents Faircloth Forest Products, and has expressed her concerns to him several times.

Faircloth Forest Products area This complaint is also against LJR Forest Products which is a facility under the same management as Faircloth Forest Products.

We have a serious situation in Midtown with a construction site emitting large amounts of white plastic pellets from sanding of their high-rise insulation. It is blanketing the neighborhood, floating in the air, ending in pools, etc. The situation is awful. Please provide emergency intervention for this issue. Thanks much for your help. The building in question is the Toll Brothers (Balfour) Momentum Midtown towers between Spring and West Peachtree, at 1018 W. Peachtree St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 (https://www.momentummidtown.com). The white pellets from them sanding their building insulation without any protection are overwhelming the neighborhood. We have a lot of construction around us, but it has never reached a point where we cannot use the Aqua Condominium pool which is actually hidden from the construction by our building, but yet is filled with white pellets. This is the building in question. It is the same building that had the collapsed crane. You can see the white Styrofoam insulation being applied and being sanded down generating showers of white particles in a half mile radius. Can you please help us by activating the appropriate enforcement unit of the city. We cannot have our pool disabled for the entire summer because of the careless construction practices of Balfour. This is the worse construction pollution I have seen here in Midtown since 2017. The construction is bringing with it challenges as we know, and I want to raise the issue of the amount of flying debris and small plastic particles coming from these construction sites. In particular the building right across from us (the one where the crane lost its ballast recently) is being covered by a white plastic isolation material (Styrofoam or something similar) which after installation is sanded in a process which sends a rain of very little while pellets in a radius of probably a half a mile. Our building swimming pool which is actually on the back of Aqua has a large quantity of these pellets floating. This is concerning because of the amount of dirt generated in Midtown, but also because as we know these debris do not just disappear, they create a long lasting pollution and contribute to the awful microplastic pollution of our water systems and oceans. My question to you is what can be done to force construction companies to reduce the amount of dust generated?

I've witnessed possible issues regarding the transmission of pollutants into the atmosphere. I don't believe anyone working with these chemicals has received training in dealing with these things properly. They use a military grade, epoxy based (I believe) paint that goes out of the building through open or poorly filtered vent fans. No actual ventilation system to catch these chemicals or over spray before leaving the building. This paint is used to spray on commercial HVAC unit bases prior to unit fabrication. I've also witnessed the release of either, or both, 410a or R134a refrigerant into 5 gallon buckets of water without any collection system used. I've always heard, whether it's OSHA or any other organization, that this place pays people off any time someone is called for any violations. Several employees are attempting to change the course of this company for the better and we've had little to no success in having them be held accountable for various issues. We're strongly reliant on your interference in this particular situation in having them get and use a proper ventilation and reclaim system.

Ask EPD received and email: "To Whom it May Concern; I am trying to find out who I need to contact about the awful disgusting smell being emitted into our air in East Dublin, Ga (Laurens County) by The Darling Plant formally known as DarPro and Griffin Industries. The Smell can be smelt all over East Dublin, Eastern Laurens County in the city and the county parts and sometimes as far as into Dublin. It has particularly gotten worse over the past year and now is emitted on a daily basis. The air quality is so bad you can not open your windows or door nor sit outside without being overwhelmed with the disgusting smell, which sometimes will turn your stomach and about make you vomit it's so terrible. At one point several years ago a lawsuit was brought against them and they were made to add a chemical to whatever it is they up there cooking/manufacturing, which would eliminate the odors. But after the New owners Darling took over they do not use the product and just pollute our air, it also keeps new businesses from coming to our area, and homeowners sell. It is ashamed you cannot sit outside in your yard or drive down the road towards town without being subject to this poor air quality. Please respond with any information to help with this problem. Thank you in advance."

Georgia DNR - EPD, I am a citizen of Henry County (Ellenwood 30294) who has a concern regarding air quality, as it pertains to foul odors. I cannot perfectly describe the smell, but it reminds me of a surfer or rotten egg smell. I have particularly noticed it around my home beginning a year or two ago (maybe longer), sometimes late night and mostly early morning. The odor has become more prominent and more of a regular thing over the past several months or more. I used to only notice it when I go outside of my house, but now it seeps indoors. That is what I wake up to many mornings - that foul smell. I step outside and there it is, but stronger. It makes me nauseous. I can’t even sit on my screened porch and enjoy myself. I am not sure where it is coming from, but I am very concerned with how this may impact my health, as well as my joy. I have lived in my home for over 23 years now, and have only noticed this in the more recent year or two as a constant thin in the mornings more often than not. Many years ago, I lived in another area in Ellenwood that is in Dekalb County, where it was guaranteed daily either morning and/or evening to night that the odor would appear. I complained then to no end and no satisfaction. I suspected it was coming from a land field near I-285 on the East side near the 675 and Bouldercrest exits. Now years later and in another area, I am experiencing it again. I would like to get more information on: What the odor is, Where it is coming from, What is the impact to health of residents, What can be done to eliminate it, and Who within the state and/or county is responsible for addressing this concern. I would very much appreciate a response.
