Smells gas from the construction of a new natural gas line. Says that AGL has put a giant gas cylinder in the area and it makes a noise that sounds like a furnace running. The guy across the street owns the gas station (Handy Corner), and he can't sleep and he is only 145 feet away from the cylinder. Says that the gas is environmentally bad and bad for her health. Said that she called the corporate office at 800-xxx-xxxx but nobody called her back.

VOCs and fumes from auto repair/ painting of next door neighbor. On going for years. Previously called in October to get information for air quality monitors to get data to show dangers. Neighbor has bought a storage container/Shed to be able to lock up chemicals and hide from authorities. First visit from fire department stripping off vehicles told he couldn't continue. He continued use stripping agents. When the Sherriff was previously called last year he informed the Sherriff he would be moving shortly so Sherriff felt it was not worth investigating. He has made statements that no one is allowed on property without a warrant and hostility toward questioning.

Our company has been complaining for years about the stench coming from our next door neighbor and to no avail. The city of Lawrenceville will do nothing about it even though the smell is in violation of their own standards. I do not wish to imply that there is graft involved, but I have to wonder how this nuisance can continue without anyone addressing it. This has been going on for over twenty years and the offending operation has only grown and gotten much worse. Please help me with this unbearable situation as it seems that no one seems to care.

Strong, foul odor coming from the chicken processing plant on Hwy 80 in East Dublin. She was unsure of the exact name (it was formerly Griffin Industries) but I believe, based on location and her description it is Darling Ingredients. She states that she has never smelled such an odor and that she was unable to be outside because of it-- and she lives approx. 1 mile from the facility

I need to file a report of a commercial business causing particulate and mold spore air pollution at my home which is causing my family and me to be chronically sick. The company is a mulch company which is operating far outside of most regulation standards and causes chronic air pollution at my home including woody particulates and mold spores as is well demonstrated in the files attached to a second email. Please contact me if further information is needed for your office to conduct an investigation as soon as possible, for otherwise, I will have to relocate my family away from our ranch to ensure safety.

Concerns were brought up via a letter from the complainant to the Air Protection Branch: 1. Cement dust from Southeast Cement's facility has appeared on surrounding roads and vehicles when the wind is blowing. 2. Cement bags have split open during transit and unloading causing the contents to be released in the air and spilled onto other bags. 3. Washed cement dust on the roads using water trucks into storm sewers, raising other environmental concerns. 4. Broken bags at the facility have been left unattended and un-remediated. 5. Compliance with permit condition 3.3, which requires that the facility pave the forklift path between the outdoor storage area and the main building, the customer truck path, and the delivery truck path, has not been achieved.

The city of Flowery Branch is constructing new buildings on a whole block located on Main Street. The complainant stated that you can't miss the construction project. The project is a joint project between the City of Flowery Branch and the Residential Group. They are currently cutting bricks to put on the side of the newly constructed buildings. The cutting of the bricks is causing dust to enter the air causing people to breathe in the dust and accumulate on vehicles and buildings in the area. The complainant is concerned about the health issues from potentially breathing in the dust. The complainant also stated that the on-going construction is generating trash that is leaving the construction area & creating an additional nuisance.

Blasting at Hansen quarry has grown larger and less controlled over the last two years. They have continued to communicate less with the citizens in the area and are causing PM in large amounts to be released with much larger detonations than previous experiences. Facility is denying fault and trying to pin on other quarries in the area, but residences of multi decades understand the direction the blasts are coming from. Have met with Hansen employees and administrators are constantly changing personnel and no consistency. Requested the test the sound and air in area. Citizen would like a consistent contact with the company as turnover has made communicating with the same individual very difficult.

Email from both Gina and Drago regarding the same issue. Ginas email: I was under the impression from the emails from Dec 1 - Dec2, that GRP had rejected the fuel in the railcars on the spur. Those cars have been moved onsite at GRP. It appears their fuel supply is low in the fuel yard. The numbers on the rail cars match up, and there is still a rail tie sticking out of the top. I never heard back as to whether CSX verified where the rail car came from. Curious, who performs the lab analysis of fuel? Thank you, Gina Ward Drago's email: Estelle I see that Gina Ward has notified you about the rail road cars full of CSX waste and rejected GRP fuel. I sent Gina a few pictures and she confirmed that these are the same rail cars. The rail cars are longer on the CSX owned spur but inside the GRP owned property. The machine used to unload the rail cars is also back. I will be checking tomorrow to see if they start unloading these cars. Thanks for attention your giving us regarding our problems with GRP.

The Complainant stated that about a week ago the dusting and noise significantly increased at Holcim (US) Inc next door. The Complainant stated that there is cement dust on all the vehicles in his car dealership. The Complainant stated that his mechanic has complained about the increased noise. The Complainant described the noise as ringing grrrrrrrr. A salesperson of the dealership went next door to complain. The salesperson asked if something had changed. They told the salesperson that a subcontractor recently didn't do something right and that is the cause of the dust and noise.

I live in a small rural town in Southwest Georgia, named Cuthbert. I'm writing to see if the problem of Gas Fumes can be investigated by your company. On three (3) separate occasions, I've been overcome by gas fumes, in the last few months, when I go into my backyard or just being near the backdoor of my home, if I leave it ajar for my cats. The air is so heavy with fumes, it seems there is no oxygen and breathing is almost impossible. My lungs immediately tightened and began to ache. I really have to struggle to get back into my house or away from the backdoor to an area in my home where it takes a while to breathe freely again. The smell reminds me of WD40. I have no idea of what this might be. I've lived here for over fifteen years and the first two episodes were in 2020 and the third one was on January 6, 2021. In all of my years here in Cuthbert, Georgia, I've seen very few commercial airplanes fly over, but it seems they're getting more frequent. Is it possible the airlines are dumping fuel over our area before landing in Atlanta? I just don't know what to think, but it's very frightening to experience.

Noxious Odor near Academy Creek WPCP and near complainants home. Email received by EPD from Mr. Jason at 12:26 pm on 12/29/2020: Dear Ms. Rowe & Mr. Berry, My name is Jason Umfress. I live at 1018 Carpenter Street in Brunswick GA. I have noticed an increase in the noxious smell at my residence over the last month. I am writing to report a noxious smell at my residence on 12/26/2020. On 12/26/2020, we had been out of town for the holidays and were returning to the downtown area around 9:30pm. We were traveling south on HWY 341 and were approaching the water/sewage treatment plant (intersection of HWY341 & T Street) and noticed a pungent smell coming into the car. When we arrived at home and got out of the car, the smell was very strong, making it difficult to breath in the night air. I have no way to measure the wind speed or direction at this time. Thank you for looking into this. The smell started out as merely annoying, but it has become increasingly disruptive and raises questions as to the air quality and personal safety of me, my family, and the other citizens of downtown Brunswick. Thank you, Jason Sent from my iPhone.

My husband and I live on the eastern edge of the Savannah Historic District, and have been troubled lately by what seems to be a sharp increase in early morning episodes of strong odors from the paper mill a few miles west of us. It was so noxious this morning that both of us have headaches. The smell woke me up at around 4:00 a.m., and while I’m aware that wind and other weather conditions, etc. have an impact, we’ve both noticed that it happens around the same time of day every time and appears to be happening much more frequently than it used to. Checking the concentration data on the EPD website, it does appear there was an uptick in emissions picked up at the nearby monitoring station this morning, but I am not familiar enough with the data to tell whether this morning’s uptick was unusual or not.

There is a stretch of land between State Route 139 (Mableton Parkway) and State Route 78 (Bankhead Highway) named, “DISCOVERY BOULEVARD”. It’s kinda weird because that same “road” starts out as “Lee Industrial Boulevard”, then crosses over State Route 139 turning into “Discovery Boulevard”, then turns into “Oakdale Road” once you cross State Route 78. All too this can’t be more than 2-3 miles, and runs alongside the Chattahoochee River. All along “Discovery Boulevard” as long as I can remember there has been a CHEMICAL STENCH within that stretch of that land. I know that there are some industrial companies there. It’s breathable… but barely. The chemical smell is unavoidable though. Sometimes I’ve tried to hold my breath until I can make it across Route 78 so I wouldn’t have to smell or inhale the air over there.

Good afternoon Karen These are pictures from the end of Oct. lately we have seen the same thing happening every few days. When and why would this much smoke be leaving the stack. I was also wondering if there are more or better methods that GRP could be using to reduce the air pollution coming from the plant. Second email: Karen The pictures were taken on Oct 20 & 23. Just this morning there was plumes of black smoke again. I guess I should be send this information to Estelle. Thanks Drago (See attached pictures)

Something spews from the silos that looks like snow falling in the air. It settles on the cars and the boxes on our dock. I can tell when I inhale it. I’ve taken a video of it if you are interested. This happens often. I tried to contact the company first, but I could not find any contact information.

From complainant's email: "The concerns are with the blowing of dust onto our property located at 1328 Lakewood Ave SE 30315 by a contractor for GDOT. This is being done in connection with the bridge construction undertaken by GDOT adjacent to our property on McDonough Blvd SE. I spoke to the contractor’s foreman and he instructed me that every time it rains they blow the dust off the road onto our site. This is causing significant damage to our operations and causing our equipment to breakdown and malfunction. It is also causing respiratory concerns to our employees and bothering our customers. There are copious amounts of excess dust on our property due this construction work and our cars our covered whenever this happens. I am not sure who the contractor is that is causing the dust pollution, but we think their name is GA Bridge and Concrete."

Hi Karen I am writing concerning several observations and questions I have regarding Sterigenics. I believe GAEPD announced they had secured funding for an additional 6 months of air testing. We are so grateful that the agency continues to measure air quality, as it is our only way to ensure our community is safe. Is it the agency’s intent to compare the results from Oct 2019-Mar 2020 (while the plant was not operating) to Oct 2020-Mar 2021 (while plant is operating at capacity)? I think everyone can agree there has been a noticeable increase since they reopened in April 2020. Several things have been observed and documented since this summer. The first concerns a trailer that was parked daily at door #16 from July 16-25. The garage door was regularly open halfway each time we observed. Please see the attached photos. I have time/date stamped photos if you need more. There currently is another trailer parked at dock #24 since Oct 15. Please see the picture below. Again I have time/date stamped photos if you need them. Lastly, in mid-July a temporary air system was installed on the side of the building. The hoses have duct tape patches on them. The system appears to have been removed as of November 9, 2020. See pics below. This certainly does not offer the appearance of a safe state of the art facility the company continues to tout. Quite honestly it is alarming. Please help me understand how any of this is not in violation of the permit that creates a negative pressure system on the plant. Additionally, we have witnessed multiple dock doors open at one time for large amounts of time. I recently witness a working using a grinding wheel near the dock doors. Sparks were flying from the grinder. I have video of this. Again, please explain to me how this is safe. Thank you for your time. Regards

This company makes products from some kind of composite material and has a lot of dust going out of the building into the air. I don't think it is safe for the workers or any of us who work near that building. I think they are not doing an adequate job keeping the possibly dangerous dust safely collected.

I’m hoping you can help me with an on-going problem we are having in my neighborhood here in Columbia County. When the adjoining property was rezoned to Manufacturing, we were assured by our local Planning Dept. that no pollution of any kind would be allow to affect our neighboring residential properties. Now they tell me they don’t have the ability to do anything about a cabinet shop that is allowing what smells like strong paint fumes to be exhausted from their shop. At times it is so strong that we can’t stay out in our backyard. Unfortunately, we are only separated by a chain link fence. We normally leave our windows open this time of the year and let our whole house attic fan cool our house. We can’t even do that when a slight shift in the prevailing winds from the southwest brings those fumes right into the house. Not only do I have to deal with the headaches I get from exposure to these fumes , but we now have out 1 year old grandson living with us and I am extremely worried about the effect that these VOC’s could possibly have on his development. Is there any way that the state can check to see if they have any sort of filter on their exhaust system and if so, is it working properly ? The Environmental Compliance folks in Columbia County tell me that they are not equipped to do air monitoring and suggested I contact the EPD. I have attached a map showing the location of the business, Cedar Ridge Cabinet Company at 321 UN Court, as it relates to my house location at 5168 Bluegrass Trail , Grovetown, Ga. 30813 I’m hoping if your department is not the correct group to handle this type of problem, you can point me in the right direction of who I need to contact. I would appreciate any help that you can provide.
