101,737	I have a couple of questions regarding where I work and some safety concerns ,. We treat lumber using a variety of chemicals and have a drip pad to let the wood dry on. They push us hard and we run out of storage room , we're not supposed to move the dripping wood until completely dry management bought small bags of quick dry to hide the rivers daily they force us to break the rules for production . Also the dust that comes from wood and gravel is very toxic when it rains it gets washed out into the street gutter system and funneled down the street to the river .	6566 US Hwy 41 Ringgold, GA 30736	2022-10-28T14:00:00	Sunbelt Forest Georgia, LLC	6566 US Hwy 41 Ringgold, Georgia 30736

101,628	I continue to see non stop clouds of dust from the development at Hwy 278, Davis Academy, Old Mill Rd area in Rutledge. I suffer from asthma and have been to the ER twice due to exacerbation of my asthma from the dust. I live approximately 1.5 miles from where the work is being performed and have never had dust or asthma issues anywhere near this degree. I can wash my car in town and after being home for an hour it looks like a red clay car. Is there anything that can be done? I work in construction myself and I believe dust control is a requirement.

101,627	Dear Mr. Williams, I live in Rutledge Ga across Hwy 20 from the proposed Rivian site. They have begun to grade the property. For the last couple of days my husband and I have suffered great allergy reactions that we have not had before- ever. It is difficult to breathe and we have been coughing and sneezing. I know ragweed is blooming as well as goldenrod, but this is not from that. The dust surrounding our property is off the charts. It looks like we are living in a cloud of smoke. I don’t know what can be done, but we cannot live in these conditions and from what I hear, it’s just begun. We have animals and chickens that seem to be reacting as well. I hope you can help in some way. Sincerely, Chris Grace	[Not entered]	2022-10-12T10:00:00	Stanton Springs	Rutledge, Georgia

101,619	Yesterday seems to have been the first big day of major work on the Rivian site, particularly in the Morgan County portion. Apparently, the self-reporting responsibility and the Walton County monitoring responsibility isn’t working to well. We have reports from residents and passersby of huge dust clouds, causing breathing problems, eye irritation, dirt and dust within homes and on vehicles, filthy swimming pools. One person contacted me and said the horses at a horse farm on 278, adjacent to the project, were grazing in one of these dust clouds. This has all come from the huge clouds of dirt, dust, dried grass and hay that is in the air. Apparently they have equipment scraping the ground, loading the earth into dump trucks and hauling it to one spot elsewhere on the property where it is being dumped. (When we get the rain that is predicted for next week there will be a huge mud pile) Please address this problem this morning or today and/or tell us what else to do. Should we be contacting anybody else? Thank you, JoEllen Artz	[Not entered]	2022-10-10T16:30:00	Stanton Springs	Social Circle , Georgia
101,618	Dear Mr. Williams, I’m contacting you in regulars to the fact there is ongoing grading in rural Rutledge Georgia as of this week billowing tons of red dust into the air. There was a recent court ruling against the JDA and the State regarding a bond they were requesting for RIVIAN to be built here. The court ruled with the citizens and against the State and JDA. In court, both the representative for the State and the JDA stated, without this bond, this project cannot go forward. We in opposition, mainly because of the environmental issues that a 20 million sq ft MEGA Industrial Auto Plant, 7 stories high on 2003 acres in a RURAL agricultural zoned area, will cause irreparable damage to our community. This grading, in spite of what both parties swore under oath to the judge about the bond denial “killing the deal”, is a slap in the face of the court and the citizens here in opposition. We are well dependent, this grading and the fact we are all well dependent here, is unacceptable! Water is already an issue here. My husband and I have in the past, had our own well go dry. We could not afford a drilled well so we had to pay for another dug well far from the dry well and the cost to run pipe back to our house, was as much or more than the well. Our Morgan County Comprehensive Use Plan, 2017-2036 states this land and all around it will remain agricultural through 2036. We citizens who live, work, farm, own small businesses here, are the ones who approved that plan. We depended on people, we had trusted to implement that plan through its full term and theirs, but they did not. Those on the JDA and Morgan County Board of Commissioners who were supposed to represent our area in this county, some developed their own legacy farmland (one, the former JDA chairman serving then, resigned, before he was paid a great profit, (20 times the going price per acre here) for that same legacy farmland, saying “because it wouldn’t look right if he was still chairman” when his families good name and legacy farmland was sold out and paid for. (All public record) The JDA threw this project to the state by letter overnight (again public record) when citizens were finally told RIVIAN was coming to Rutledge and it was already a “Done Deal”. There was no transparency! Everything done on this “closed door deal” for years, had been hidden in secret, under NDAs. The first any citizen (not involved) knew about this, was when the Governor announced on TV Dec 16, 2021 that RIVIAN (the company the state had already purchased the Industrial site for, near Savannah) where they have placed Hyundai recently. Instead RIVIAN (a risky financial EV start up) would be put on our legacy farmland zoned Agricultural, being actively farmed (the last hay was just cut recently). After the project was thrown to the state by the JDA, stating by letter “this project (they developed) is too big for us to handle, the Gov took it over for the State, the next day. The rezoning meeting, our ONE chance to express our environmental and other concerns, was cancelled! And the rezoning from agricultural until 2036, now for heavy industrial use by the State, the sign came down. We in Rutledge, with Hard Labor Creek State Park and UGA’s Observatory placed here intentionally, because of lack of light pollution, will no longer be able to operate and use their brand new telescope. Camp Twin Lakes where I volunteer in summers as “nurse Pam” for our special needs children, is in sight of this area. It like the Observatory, was placed here for a reason. Clean air and clean well water. The twin lakes the special children fish in and row in, not to mention the peace and quiet a camp like this needs, will all be taken away. Our abundant wild life including the American Bald Eagle that soars overhead after making a comeback here, will all be in danger! The barn swallow nests are abundant here. They build every year on my front porch and in barns and at houses all around. Deer are plentiful here along with many other species. Squirrels, including black fox squirrels, birds of ever color, we have it all! For now. The Georgia Audubon Society was already aware of RIVIAN early on in this process and we’re concerned about it’s impact here. Please, I beg you, if there is anything the State EPD and/or DNR can do to help us here and save our legacy farmland and wildlife habitat, it will be most appreciated. The DNR building and fish hatchery are in this same area of the proposed plant, on Hwy 278 in neighboring Walton Co. We never had a voice, because there was no transparency here and we didn’t know anything of the magnitude of this plant, heading our way. Please be our voice now! I have a picture of the Bald Eagle in a tree on Centennial Road, taken recently by my husband’s cousin. A road with no exit or entrance now, about to be changed. It’s exit’s and entrances will feed onto a five lane access Road, running adjacent to I 20. I have concerns about all these things and more. I have concerns about where all this displaced wildlife will go. I have concerns about our special kids at Camp Twin Lakes who just returned this year after missing two years of eligibility to this camp, because of the Pandemic. That is their only time they are away from home, at no charge to their parents. A magical place where all their outdoor dreams can come true! A chance to spend a week with other children like themselves out of doors, with nature and do what other more able bodied children take for granted at summer camps. One on one ratio camper to counselor, volunteer nurses, firefighters, EMTS make this possible, along with our sponsors. During the past two years, with generous donations from sponsors, Camp Twin Lakes has doubled its size! Prepared to open the new section soon and serve twice as many special needs children as ever before. We celebrated our 30th year with MDA Camp there in July of this year. Please don’t let it be our children's last! They have fragile conditions such as muscular dystrophy, diabetes, cancer, skin disease and so much more. They can’t be exposed to contaminants in air and water, or the noise and light pollution. When we Rutledge citizens finally found out on TV RIVIAN was coming, we started attending as many JDA meetings as we could, trying to have an opportunity to express ALL our many concerns. At one of those many meetings we attended early on, the JDAs own expert admitted our water table, the loss of multiple ponds on this land as well as our three best natural streams to be covered over with dirt and buried under 2003 acres of concrete and asphalt, would all be affected. Greatest fear, our wells! The expert also said lakes and streams from here at HLC State Park, Camp Twin Lakes next door, on down to Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee would be adversely affected. We heard him! No EPD studies have been shown to us. One meeting for citizen input on design and EPD issues, held in Monroe, Walton Co turned out to be only a “flack taker” meeting. The panel had no answers for our questions and concerns. No plan or designs to even show us for input on. No EPD studies had been done and no permits had been applied for. It seems once the State of Georgia took over the project, our legacy farmland, the need for normal ways for citizens to have any input, checks and balances here on zoning and other issues, were all taken away. After our prescient setting win in court denying the bond came down, it now seems nothing has changed! With the drought we are experiencing no consideration for us in that. Grading was to start on this past Monday, and it did! The dust is rolling, smell of pine sap is in the air, the noise pollution has begun along with the destruction and the erasure of 2003 of the most beautiful “true green” legacy farmland acres in Georgia, has begun. Please if you can’t stop this, and we’ve won what both parties said would “kill the deal” in court. Hiring the best EPD attorney we could find, recommended to me as one of five by our national EPD when contacted. We at the late notice we finally got, after the deal was done, have done everything agencies such as yours has recommended we do, but still the State started grading on their own previously set schedule? Again, as if we citizens and the courts and agencies that regulate these things, don’t exist! Can our state run completely over our rights and grade our way of life away? No matter how this was achieved and no matter what the court rules against them? We will lose all the green, all the trees, and all the wildlife habitat along with our only sources of clean water. We need that water for our wells we are dependent on here. Our pools that weren’t closed yet, already have a layer of red dust and reddened debris in the bottom. Our air is dusty red. Our hearts are broken but not our spirits. Rutledge isn’t known as “Small But Special” as just a slogan. We are special because of our community, our people and will remain so. A town with a population less than 1000 has opposition numbers 3400 strong on our #no2rivian website and Our Communities Oppose RIVIAN Assembly Plant page, on FB. Hundreds of the community filled a giant barn recently to hear from our lawyers, just before the ruling in our favor! If you want to see what we have, please visit these sites online or better yet, come here in person. I’d be happy to show you around! My husband and I own the oldest business in town, Rutledge Hardware Store built in1891 and has been in continuous operation since. We are the fourth owners of record. We have fought for the best for this community, for 42 years. We got Rutledge, as a town, on the National Register of Historic Places. We don’t even have a red light in town, we have a STOP barrel that the NY Times featured and called “Rutledge’s only sophisticated traffic device”. It was built by my father in law and his good friend and sanctioned by the DOT as their engineers had no solution for where to put stop signs on our corners of Main and Fairplay street. Rutledge Hardware sits on Fairplay Street. We live on Fairplay Road. This one move by local officials thrown to the State puts everything we have here in jeopardy. The JDA has a new sign at the exit off I 20 onto Hwy 278 on the Rutledge side. It stands exactly where I have a photo of my husbands grandmother Cassie tending her cows in 1930, on the historic Butler Place. Nothing done here by county or State, has been “Fair Play”. That new sign with the JDA on it and put up by them, reads “East Atlanta MEGA Industrial Site”. There could not be a more unsuitable place or contrast between Grandma Cassie standing on that spot with her Jersey cows and now the JDA planting their sign there, announcing the plans they have for us. I don’t know about you, but to me that is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. The JDA announcing they are not finished here, they’ve only just begun. There will be no evidence of the generations of farmers who still farm here today. There will be no home for the Bald Eagle and the thousands of other wildlife that is so abundant here now. No barns for the barn swallows to build nests in. There will be no gently rolling green pastures or farms or clean water or star lit nights here for our observatory. By erasing our history, they, the JDA are erasing our agricultural heritage, ALWAYS and forever. Their excuse, to create more jobs. We need more workers here, not more jobs! We need real green pastures to lie down in, not a risky start up EV Auto Plant! Look at help wanted signs and unemployment rates for our county and state. Where will 7500 workers come from? Where will they live? There aren’t locals available for these new jobs or even enough locals needing work for the two jobs for every unemployed worker here today! I’m sorry this letter is so long and got so personal. But I’m laying my broken heart bare for you. I’m doing this to see if anyone in this state truly cares about the environment that exists here now and the needs of citizens and Camp Twin Lakes for special children. The Observatory, the farms and the families who exist here now. I pray you do.

101,463	Dear Sirs or Madam, I wanted to notify someone of the ongoing fugitive dust issue at the construction site/concrete plant located at the former General Motors plant in Doraville. Vehicles are covered daily with a thick coating of white/gray dust eminating from the adjacent construction site. Today a thick dust laden fog enclosed the site from all the activity. I have not witnessed any attempts at dust control via watering methods etc. I have to believe this is in violation of the PM 2.5 standard and hazardous for outdoor workers in the area. This has been ongoing for over a year now. Can you help or would I be better served by contacting the EPA? Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

It is supposed to be a fertilizer but it seems more like sludge. The stench is overwhelming, and there is now a fly infestation that covers miles of our community. Dozens of our neighbors have been complaining to local authorities but no one is stopping it. The stench can be felt for over a mile, and the fly infestation has made life unbearable for the entire community. Some of our neighbors have become ill, and were diagnosed by medical doctors with "environmental" conditions. There has even been TV reporting by local stations. It is time for the EPA to get involved. I am requesting that you send an inspector to monitor the air quality and the fly infestation. Soil amendment to be handled by the GA Dept. of Ag.

101,296	I would like to know how to address a concern or file a complaint regarding the air quality in the city of Hampton, Georgia (zip 30228). I have noticed as of recent weeks-to-months there is now a foul smell of chemicals constantly in the air. The area is residential, however many factories/plants/ industrial buildings have been built or started production recently. I can't help, but feel that there may be some correlation with the chemical odor (and possible increase of PM) in the air and these facilities.

101,286	From ASK.EPD email: My name is Mark Yeomans. I live at 126 Clifton Dr. (Homewood Hills) in Athens GA. For the last several months, there has been a pungent, nauseating odor coming from the Pilgrims Pride feed mill located on Tallassee Rd. here in Athens. At times, it is so bad, we can’t go outside. We have had guests leave a get together at our home because they were becoming nauseous from the smell. I have tried to contact the company but with no success. I did reach a live person one time but they showed no interest in helping me or even talking about the situation. I have gone to the Pilgrims Pride website to look for a “contact us” link but it seems one does not exist. I’m running out of options here. Is there something that can be done? Can someone give me some guidance on how to proceed? I need some relief. It is making life pretty miserable. END.

101,233	As forwarded by Ask EPD: I went to visit my friend, and immediately got sick within 30 minutes it's of arrival. The neighbor is repairing and painting cars outside, no paint booth. The dogs are even coughing. My friends lungs are damaged from living next to this place. The smell of paint fumes is nauseating and you get lightheaded. Neighbors have ask him to please make a paint booth with filters, so they dont all get sick. His reply to them, it's my land and no one can tell me what to do. Kids in the area all have breathing problems. Someone needs to go look at his place. He is also very close to the river, and the fumes travel downhill to the river. The guy is dangerous and shoots peoples stuff, if they say anything to him. The next day or so they find bullet holes in there outdoor items. This is a serious violation of EPA regulations. Operating a car painting/repair business with no filters in place. He works 5-6 days a week from early morning until dark pretty much every day. Enclosed is a photo of his information. Please do something, we know several of his neighbors have already contacted you.

I continue to see non stop clouds of dust from the development at Hwy 278, Davis Academy, Old Mill Rd area in Rutledge. I suffer from asthma and have been to the ER twice due to exacerbation of my asthma from the dust. I live approximately 1.5 miles from where the work is being performed and have never had dust or asthma issues anywhere near this degree. I can wash my car in town and after being home for an hour it looks like a red clay car. Is there anything that can be done? I work in construction myself and I believe dust control is a requirement.

Dear Mr. Williams, I live in Rutledge Ga across Hwy 20 from the proposed Rivian site. They have begun to grade the property. For the last couple of days my husband and I have suffered great allergy reactions that we have not had before- ever. It is difficult to breathe and we have been coughing and sneezing. I know ragweed is blooming as well as goldenrod, but this is not from that. The dust surrounding our property is off the charts. It looks like we are living in a cloud of smoke. I don’t know what can be done, but we cannot live in these conditions and from what I hear, it’s just begun. We have animals and chickens that seem to be reacting as well. I hope you can help in some way. Sincerely, Chris Grace

For the last couple of days my husband and I have suffered great allergy reactions that we have not had before- ever. It is difficult to breathe and we have been coughing and sneezing. I know ragweed is blooming as well as goldenrod, but this is not from that. The dust surrounding our property is off the charts. It looks like we are living in a cloud of smoke. I don’t know what can be done, but we cannot live in these conditions and from what I hear, it’s just begun. We have animals and chickens that seem to be reacting as well. I hope you can help in some way. Sincerely, Chris Grace

I continue to see non stop clouds of dust from the development at Hwy 278, Davis Academy, Old Mill Rd area in Rutledge. I suffer from asthma and have been to the ER twice due to exacerbation of my asthma from the dust. I live approximately 1.5 miles from where the work is being performed and have never had dust or asthma issues anywhere near this degree. I can wash my car in town and after being home for an hour it looks like a red clay car. Is there anything that can be done? I work in construction myself and I believe dust control is a requirement. Thanks Tim Campbell Sent from my iPhone

Yesterday seems to have been the first big day of major work on the Rivian site, particularly in the Morgan County portion. Apparently, the self-reporting responsibility and the Walton County monitoring responsibility isn’t working to well. We have reports from residents and passersby of huge dust clouds, causing breathing problems, eye irritation, dirt and dust within homes and on vehicles, filthy swimming pools. One person contacted me and said the horses at a horse farm on 278, adjacent to the project, were grazing in one of these dust clouds. This has all come from the huge clouds of dirt, dust, dried grass and hay that is in the air. Apparently they have equipment scraping the ground, loading the earth into dump trucks and hauling it to one spot elsewhere on the property where it is being dumped. (When we get the rain that is predicted for next week there will be a huge mud pile) Please address this problem this morning or today and/or tell us what else to do. Should we be contacting anybody else? Thank you, JoEllen Artz

Dear Mr. Williams, I’m contacting you in regulars to the fact there is ongoing grading in rural Rutledge Georgia as of this week billowing tons of red dust into the air. There was a recent court ruling against the JDA and the State regarding a bond they were requesting for RIVIAN to be built here. The court ruled with the citizens and against the State and JDA. In court, both the representative for the State and the JDA stated, without this bond, this project cannot go forward. We in opposition, mainly because of the environmental issues that a 20 million sq ft MEGA Industrial Auto Plant, 7 stories high on 2003 acres in a RURAL agricultural zoned area, will cause irreparable damage to our community. This grading, in spite of what both parties swore under oath to the judge about the bond denial “killing the deal”, is a slap in the face of the court and the citizens here in opposition. We are well dependent, this grading and the fact we are all well dependent here, is unacceptable! Water is already an issue here. My husband and I have in the past, had our own well go dry. We could not afford a drilled well so we had to pay for another dug well far from the dry well and the cost to run pipe back to our house, was as much or more than the well. Our Morgan County Comprehensive Use Plan, 2017-2036 states this land and all around it will remain agricultural through 2036. We citizens who live, work, farm, own small businesses here, are the ones who approved that plan. We depended on people, we had trusted to implement that plan through its full term and theirs, but they did not. Those on the JDA and Morgan County Board of Commissioners who were supposed to represent our area in this county, some developed their own legacy farmland (one, the former JDA chairman serving then, resigned, before he was paid a great profit, (20 times the going price per acre here) for that same legacy farmland, saying “because it wouldn’t look right if he was still chairman” when his families good name and legacy farmland was sold out and paid for. (All public record) The JDA threw this project to the state by letter overnight (again public record) when citizens were finally told RIVIAN was coming to Rutledge and it was already a “Done Deal”. There was no transparency! Everything done on this “closed door deal” for years, had been hidden in secret, under NDAs. The first any citizen (not involved) knew about this, was when the Governor announced on TV Dec 16, 2021 that RIVIAN (the company the state had already purchased the Industrial site for, near Savannah) where they have placed Hyundai recently. Instead RIVIAN (a risky financial EV start up) would be put on our legacy farmland zoned Agricultural, being actively farmed (the last hay was just cut recently). After the project was thrown to the state by the JDA, stating by letter “this project (they developed) is too big for us to handle, the Gov took it over for the State, the next day. The rezoning meeting, our ONE chance to express our environmental and other concerns, was cancelled! And the rezoning from agricultural until 2036, now for heavy industrial use by the State, the sign came down. We in Rutledge, with Hard Labor Creek State Park and UGA’s Observatory placed here intentionally, because of lack of light pollution, will no longer be able to operate and use their brand new telescope. Camp Twin Lakes where I volunteer in summers as “nurse Pam” for our special needs children, is in sight of this area. It like the Observatory, was placed here for a reason. Clean air and clean well water. The twin lakes the special children fish in and row in, not to mention the peace and quiet a camp like this needs, will all be taken away. Our abundant wild life including the American Bald Eagle that soars overhead after making a comeback here, will all be in danger! The barn swallow nests are abundant here. They build every year on my front porch and in barns and at houses all around. Deer are plentiful here along with many other species. Squirrels, including black fox squirrels, birds of ever color, we have it all! For now. The Georgia Audubon Society was already aware of RIVIAN early on in this process and we’re concerned about it’s impact here. Please, I beg you, if there is anything the State EPD and/or DNR can do to help us here and save our legacy farmland and wildlife habitat, it will be most appreciated. The DNR building and fish hatchery are in this same area of the proposed plant, on Hwy 278 in neighboring Walton Co. We never had a voice, because there was no transparency here and we didn’t know anything of the magnitude of this plant, heading our way. Please be our voice now! I have a picture of the Bald Eagle in a tree on Centennial Road, taken recently by my husband’s cousin. A road with no exit or entrance now, about to be changed. It’s exit’s and entrances will feed onto a five lane access Road, running adjacent to I 20. I have concerns about all these things and more. I have concerns about where all this displaced wildlife will go. I have concerns about our special kids at Camp Twin Lakes who just returned this year after missing two years of eligibility to this camp, because of the Pandemic. That is their only time they are away from home, at no charge to their parents. A magical place where all their outdoor dreams can come true! A chance to spend a week with other children like themselves out of doors, with nature and do what other more able bodied children take for granted at summer camps. One on one ratio camper to counselor, volunteer nurses, firefighters, EMTS make this possible, along with our sponsors. During the past two years, with generous donations from sponsors, Camp Twin Lakes has doubled its size! Prepared to open the new section soon and serve twice as many special needs children as ever before. We celebrated our 30th year with MDA Camp there in July of this year. Please don’t let it be our children's last! They have fragile conditions such as muscular dystrophy, diabetes, cancer, skin disease and so much more. They can’t be exposed to contaminants in air and water, or the noise and light pollution. When we Rutledge citizens finally found out on TV RIVIAN was coming, we started attending as many JDA meetings as we could, trying to have an opportunity to express ALL our many concerns. At one of those many meetings we attended early on, the JDAs own expert admitted our water table, the loss of multiple ponds on this land as well as our three best natural streams to be covered over with dirt and buried under 2003 acres of concrete and asphalt, would all be affected. Greatest fear, our wells! The expert also said lakes and streams from here at HLC State Park, Camp Twin Lakes next door, on down to Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee would be adversely affected. We heard him! No EPD studies have been shown to us. One meeting for citizen input on design and EPD issues, held in Monroe, Walton Co turned out to be only a “flack taker” meeting. The panel had no answers for our questions and concerns. No plan or designs to even show us for input on. No EPD studies had been done and no permits had been applied for. It seems once the State of Georgia took over the project, our legacy farmland, the need for normal ways for citizens to have any input, checks and balances here on zoning and other issues, were all taken away. After our prescient setting win in court denying the bond came down, it now seems nothing has changed! With the drought we are experiencing no consideration for us in that. Grading was to start on this past Monday, and it did! The dust is rolling, smell of pine sap is in the air, the noise pollution has begun along with the destruction and the erasure of 2003 of the most beautiful “true green” legacy farmland acres in Georgia, has begun. Please if you can’t stop this, and we’ve won what both parties said would “kill the deal” in court. Hiring the best EPD attorney we could find, recommended to me as one of five by our national EPD when contacted. We at the late notice we finally got, after the deal was done, have done everything agencies such as yours has recommended we do, but still the State started grading on their own previously set schedule? Again, as if we citizens and the courts and agencies that regulate these things, don’t exist! Can our state run completely over our rights and grade our way of life away? No matter how this was achieved and no matter what the court rules against them? We will lose all the green, all the trees, and all the wildlife habitat along with our only sources of clean water. We need that water for our wells we are dependent on here. Our pools that weren’t closed yet, already have a layer of red dust and reddened debris in the bottom. Our air is dusty red. Our hearts are broken but not our spirits. Rutledge isn’t known as “Small But Special” as just a slogan. We are special because of our community, our people and will remain so. A town with a population less than 1000 has opposition numbers 3400 strong on our #no2rivian website and Our Communities Oppose RIVIAN Assembly Plant page, on FB. Hundreds of the community filled a giant barn recently to hear from our lawyers, just before the ruling in our favor! If you want to see what we have, please visit these sites online or better yet, come here in person. I’d be happy to show you around! My husband and I own the oldest business in town, Rutledge Hardware Store built in1891 and has been in continuous operation since. We are the fourth owners of record. We have fought for the best for this community, for 42 years. We got Rutledge, as a town, on the National Register of Historic Places. We don’t even have a red light in town, we have a STOP barrel that the NY Times featured and called “Rutledge’s only sophisticated traffic device”. It was built by my father in law and his good friend and sanctioned by the DOT as their engineers had no solution for where to put stop signs on our corners of Main and Fairplay street. Rutledge Hardware sits on Fairplay Street. We live on Fairplay Road. This one move by local officials thrown to the State puts everything we have here in jeopardy. The JDA has a new sign at the exit off I 20 onto Hwy 278 on the Rutledge side. It stands exactly where I have a photo of my husbands grandmother Cassie tending her cows in 1930, on the historic Butler Place. Nothing done here by county or State, has been “Fair Play”. That new sign with the JDA on it and put up by them, reads “East Atlanta MEGA Industrial Site”. There could not be a more unsuitable place or contrast between Grandma Cassie standing on that spot with her Jersey cows and now the JDA planting their sign there, announcing the plans they have for us. I don’t know about you, but to me that is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. The JDA announcing they are not finished here, they’ve only just begun. There will be no evidence of the generations of farmers who still farm here today. There will be no home for the Bald Eagle and the thousands of other wildlife that is so abundant here now. No barns for the barn swallows to build nests in. There will be no gently rolling green pastures or farms or clean water or star lit nights here for our observatory. By erasing our history, they, the JDA are erasing our agricultural heritage, ALWAYS and forever. Their excuse, to create more jobs. We need more workers here, not more jobs! We need real green pastures to lie down in, not a risky start up EV Auto Plant! Look at help wanted signs and unemployment rates for our county and state. Where will 7500 workers come from? Where will they live? There aren’t locals available for these new jobs or even enough locals needing work for the two jobs for every unemployed worker here today! I’m sorry this letter is so long and got so personal. But I’m laying my broken heart bare for you. I’m doing this to see if anyone in this state truly cares about the environment that exists here now and the needs of citizens and Camp Twin Lakes for special children. The Observatory, the farms and the families who exist here now. I pray you do. Sincerely, Pam Jones, RN Small business owner Protector of all things Rutledge for over 42 years

Dear Sirs or Madam, I wanted to notify someone of the ongoing fugitive dust issue at the construction site/concrete plant located at the former General Motors plant in Doraville. Vehicles are covered daily with a thick coating of white/gray dust eminating from the adjacent construction site. Today a thick dust laden fog enclosed the site from all the activity. I have not witnessed any attempts at dust control via watering methods etc. I have to believe this is in violation of the PM 2.5 standard and hazardous for outdoor workers in the area. This has been ongoing for over a year now. Can you help or would I be better served by contacting the EPA? Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, Steven Wright

Dozens of our neighbors have been complaining to local authorities but no one is stopping it. The stench can be felt for over a mile, and the fly infestation has made life unbearable for the entire community. Some of our neighbors have become ill, and were diagnosed by medical doctors with "environmental" conditions. There has even been TV reporting by local stations.

I would like to know how to address a concern or file a complaint regarding the air quality in the city of Hampton, Georgia (zip 30228). I have noticed as of recent weeks-to-months there is now a foul smell of chemicals constantly in the air. The area is residential, however many factories/plants/ industrial buildings have been built or started production recently. I can't help, but feel that there may be some correlation with the chemical odor (and possible increase of PM) in the air and these facilities. I am not sure how to go about addressing the concerns, whether this email will serve in any way or if there is a form that must be submitted, or something else. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

From ASK.EPD email: My name is Mark Yeomans. I live at 126 Clifton Dr. (Homewood Hills) in Athens GA. For the last several months, there has been a pungent, nauseating odor coming from the Pilgrims Pride feed mill located on Tallassee Rd. here in Athens. At times, it is so bad, we can’t go outside. We have had guests leave a get together at our home because they were becoming nauseous from the smell. I have tried to contact the company but with no success. I did reach a live person one time but they showed no interest in helping me or even talking about the situation. I have gone to the Pilgrims Pride website to look for a “contact us” link but it seems one does not exist. I’m running out of options here. Is there something that can be done? Can someone give me some guidance on how to proceed? I need some relief. It is making life pretty miserable. END.

Neighbors have ask him to please make a paint booth with filters, so they dont all get sick. His reply to them, it's my land and no one can tell me what to do. Kids in the area all have breathing problems. Someone needs to go look at his place. He is also very close to the river, and the fumes travel downhill to the river.

has been experiencing a breathing problem within the past year and recently spent 1 week in the hospital because of it. She believes that her neighbor is applying pesticides and/or herbicides on their farm which is adjacent to her property and it is entering her home. She also stated that she caught them spraying something directly onto her mobile home and did call the police but nothing has been done. She also believes that they may be applying these products via a drone and she stated she has seen the drone on several occasions. She believes it is a chemical application that is causing her health issues and it is very different than asthma.

On June 12th, 2022 at about 10pm I went outside and noticed a very strong, acrid smell in the air. My initial impression was that it was coal or something like that. I have lived here for a year and have noticed this smell 3 or 4 times before. Always at night. It is strong enough that I didn't wish to remain outside.

The facility isn't taking any precautions to stop contamination through storm water, the quarry and streams with high concentrations of suspended solids, toxic hydrocarbons and other chemicals, oils and greases, and heavy metals. It's located directly above the quarry and transmitting the emitted chemicals, air pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, and into the water which will impact our drinking water. This plants releases chemicals into the air during production each year, including many cancer-causing toxic air pollutants such as arsenic, benzene. Please check the water, land and air contamination around the facility. The local government will not enforce any zoning or permitting, much less environmental violations.
