Hello, I work at a company beside South Georgia Pecan, 2220 E Hill Ave. Valdosta, Ga. The factory has a silo on the Blanchard Street side across from our office. They do not have protection when they dump into the semi truck beds so the pecan dust gets everywhere, it is thick. It covers everything, vehicles, material, etc. I'm wondering what it is doing to the people's lungs. This issue needs to be looked at.

Strange odors coming from neighborhood from unknown source. Says that when odor begins, it is sweet and fade to Odor is described as chemical fumes (ammonia) or gas, and that it can be tasted.

Complainant states that several days a week the company runs a machine that releases a strong chemical smell. They stated that City of Buford officials issued the facility a notice with a 4 month deadline to put up a wall to mitigate noise and to install carbon filters to help with the strong chemical smell. When they called this week to file a complaint about the strong chemical smell and ask about the timeline for completing those tasks, City of Buford officials told them that they are giving the facility an additional 4 months. Complainant and her husband have major concerns about the chemical that is being vented towards their property. She notices that the machinery is used mainly in the morning from 8-10am or later in the afternoon 5pm or after. She stated that her throat feels itchy and like it'll close up when she spends a few minutes in her yard any time they are running the machine.

I am reaching out to report a fuel jettison that was toxic near my residence. I smelled the jettison when returning to my residence around 4:30 pm today. It was a very recent jettison as the smell was extremely strong. It caused airway irritation and obstruction. I’m still coughing almost 2 hours later. I believe it was due to a fuel jettison or dump from either a small plane landing at Dekalb Peachtree Airport or from a larger plane headed to Hartsfield International Airport. This area is very close to I-85 between Claremont Road and Shallowford Road. My residence is off the access road. It is residential here and a fuel jettison over this part of the interstate is extremely dangerous as there are young children in the area. I am requesting you investigate tomorrow for local residents. There may still be pollution particulates in the air near the fuel dump.

The subjec of the complaint (Ray Sousa) owns a driveway business. Mr. Sousa is bringing in old removed driveway pieces and crushing them on the property. The Complainant believes that this material is then reused in new driveways. (landlord is Ruslan Chitadze) The crushing causes dust. There is no dust control. The creek beside the property could also be impacted. They have silt fence around the property. The Complainant believes that the county is involved as well regarding zoning and grading the property too close to the creek.

I’ve lived in Georgia for several years. There are some Chemicals being sprayed in the sky above Blairsville, GA. Those chemical trails are known as Chemtrails (not Contrails). Those chemicals have been sprayed for many years. I live close to NC and TN. My BF lives in NC, and he is experiencing the same things. Why is this allowed in our skies? Who authorized them and who are delivering them? This should NEVER be allowed. Thank you!

We have a serious environmental air quality concern in southwest Atlanta. McDaniel St. in the McDaniel Glen Community is responsible for a plethora of crimes in Atlanta. The Pittsburgh community is also in the affected area. Boron has done nothing to stop the radii migrations. The radii are moving moderately to the east. They are stronger to the west. They are moving faster to the south and slower to the north which is to say they maybe moving at different rates however the radii are still moving. The nexus of our concern is Martin St's: Tom and Sandra from the former HR Radiation Laboratory did the first analysis. On site analysis was done by NRG. EPA did an analysis and site clean-up. Boron did nothing to stop the radii from migrating. Kindest regards, Adrian Gainey

We moved in down the street in august and didn't smell anything for months. Starting in September we started noticing the smell. It happeneds sometimes every day sometimes just occasionally.

Per Complaint Received From USEPA 12/5/2023. HQ LEAD NUMBER: FY24-285709-3714-CV (Reported to USEPA 11/9/2023): Pulte is currently running large dump trucks 20 yards behind my house on a dirt road (Belvedere Rd.) and not watering and or maintaining the road. This has been going on for months as I have contacted my HOA (Waterways) and Pulte to have this road watered to no avail. This is causing breathing issues due to the massive amount of unknown partials that I am breathing daily. I am retired and work outside in my yard and continue to breath this unknown substance. This is a blatant disregard for my health/property, wife's health/property along with the other 14 homes along this dirt road - and is a direct violation. I have videos of the massive clouds of partials created by each truck up and down Belvedere Rd. Due to the size restrictions of your site I am unable to send you the videos but are available at anytime. I have added a picture as of yesterday on the grit that is generated and hangs in the air with each truck that passes Monday-Friday 8-5. It is ruining my outdoor furniture not to mention what I am breathing (picture of where I ran a cloth over a piece of plastic from one day) as I have to cover it in plastic front and back porches all week and cannot sit outside and enjoy it or grill out. I need something done ASAP and if I have contacted the wrong parties please refer me accordingly. If you need anything further please feel free to reach out directly...Thank you for your time hope to hear from you soon.

They are using a loading dock as a paint booth to paint vehicles. The "paint booth" has standard exhaust fans with no filters, spraying paint chemicals into the atmosphere going directly into a watershed area, coating the plants, ground and trees. The paint waste/lacquor thinner is sprayed out of the gun through the fans, on the ground etc.. They have no collection for any of the paint waste. They wash the dust/overspray out of the room with a hose that goes to a drain in the room and exits the rear of the building directly into the water streams. The paint mixing area has no mixing room or ventilation exposing the workers to dangerous fumes. The building has other fans(roof, walls) with no filters to ventilate other chemicals out of the building. Workers are constantly exposed to cancerous fumes inside and outside of the building from welding, sanding, paint dust, mixing, painting and glue.

egregious development by TPA Residential . I have been living adjacent to a nightmarish and non stop assault on my quality of life for 15 months and NOW? It's even worse and STILL no end in sight. Originally, when they publicized the plans they claimed the entire project including vertical buildings would be finished by June of '24. They won't even be finished with the mitigation by then. They are taking absolutely NO care to keep the toxic dust and dirt out of the air and it is floating around the area coating everything, including my home and car. When I approached the site manager the other day and asked instead of crushing the old concrete slabs through a grinder making horrible noise and spewing toxins into the air why don't they haul it all out and crush it in a waste disposal area, he denied it was happening, said "It's too expensive" So in other words, we are creating a high decibel, highly stressful atmosphere and spewing toxins all over a residential area and then dismissed me, told me to get off the property and that he would not discuss it. I have not been able to use my property during the day outside since August of '22 due to the noise, stench and toxic nature of the site where old homes full of asbestos and lead paint and cars and who knows what else was dumped there. I can literally feel grit and dirt on my face if I have to go out in my yard for any reason. And it still stinks out there at night most of the time. I probably have the worst of it, given that my property is on the corner closest to the operation with both front and back yards facing it, but it's affecting people across, along both sides of the block. It's become inhumane and abusive and made my lovely home a hell hole. And TPA does not care whatsoever. They lied from the beginning about the scope of this project to keep people from standing up against it. Either that or they are catastrophically incompetent, which is as bad. And NOT ONE TIME, has ANYONE offered me ANY compensation for the LOSS of the use of my property, for the stress, for the dirt and dust all over my pergola, my porch, my outdoor furniture, my care. EVERY SINGLE DAY. They sent these smiling young representatives over in the early summer of 2020 to show us all the wonderful plans for the location and said NOTHING about the mitigation, although I knew from a neighbor that there would be some. And when they did get it started and it was evident that this was really bad, they lied about how long it would go on. John Jensen, The project manager said to my face that it would be completed no later than March of '23, which in October of '22 when he said it, sounded horrible. 5 more MONTHS of this?!!! That's a dream now. This disgusting glossing over of it that everyone's values will increase because of it while they are destroying our rights to some quality of life for YEARS, is no comfort. I would GLADLY give that up to have avoided this monstrous and corrupt profiteering at the expense of the surrounding community. Here are some photos and videos to support that they are unleashing toxic dust all over everyone. Enjoy the rattling, roaring, banging, clanging, beeping. The windshield is my car the day after I washed it. That's what it's like almost every day. IMAGINE LIVING WITH THIS 6 DAYS A WEEK ALL DAY FOR 2 YEARS. THEN IT WILL BE AT LEAST ANOTHER 1.5 YEARS OF VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. WHO APPROVED THIS?

It is a fine dust that takes a special mixture of vinegar and water to remove from vehicles. Our lungs are another issue! This is not every day but often! The evidence is still on most of our vehicles and I have photos. The Mill was contacted and gave us car wash certificates. The incident happened again the next day. Most of us can supply reports from our dr being diagnosed with asthma now. Can you please help with this.

I continue to smell a super strong chemical odor in the wee am hours in my backyard that connects to my neighbor's garden. The odor is toxic! It hurts your lungs to breath it in. It smells of a strong fragrance like the chemicals used back in the day to spray yards. I have been smelling it for months now. It is definitely toxic, as it hurts your lungs and nose when it is breathed in. The Neighbor lives at 1855 Wellborn Road in Lithonia Ga, 30058. Please investigate as I feel I am being exposed to hazardous -dangerous chemicals on a daily basis.

Mr. Baxter has two households that the septic tanks do not have a drain field. They both have pipes that run off into the federally protected wetlands for their drain field. Mr. Baxter is raising over 10,000 quail for commercial sale in pens less than 300 feet from my residence. The dust from the birds (from their feed/bird feces) that the fans throw into the air, happens several times throughout each day. I am growing older and have major breathing problems and this irritates my respiratory system. The bird pens back up to the federally protected wetlands and the urine from the birds, dust from the birds when it rains, all runs off into the wetlands. I am concerned for that as well as the disposal of any deceased birds. Mr. Baxter did have an inspection from the state (Complaint Case Number: 89694338742) but told Robert Veal (state inspector # 260564) that he was not selling birds to the public so the property was not inspected for commercial sales.

Complainant stated that their car is being covered with a substance that is being emitted from the mentioned plant. A former employee has mentioned to them that allegedly the plant was having issues, with their discharge scrubbers allowing hot solids to be blown into the air, and no routine tests are being conducted. The particulates are then landing on nearby cars causing them to rust. The complainant also received a tip about plant discharging Zinc Oxide, into Blue Creek.

EPA Complaint FY24-282921-3714-CV Tip or Complaint: Hi EPA Staff, We were noticing poor air quality in Milledgeville, GA and thought to check the AQI index map on the phone. We noticed an unusual shape of the cloud over our home in Milledgeville GA and found that there's a massive cloud of hazardous air pollution coming out of Sparks, GA. Ive attached images of the phenomenon we noticed on the AQI radar map. A cursory search of plants in the Sparks area shows that there's a large BASF chemical plant there. We don't know what's producing the toxic cloud, but it's apparent that an emitter in Sparks is the culprit. Can someone investigate?
The Sparks in question is actually an area north-northeast of Sandersville, Georgia. There are no industrial facilities in the area. Sean Taylor is checking with Ken Parker at Georgia Forestry to determine if there was a prescribed burn in the vicinity.

I know they are building mountains of trash as the mountain keeps getting higher and higher. I guess the state environmental agency does periodic inspections (monthly or every 2 months I hope). Can they measure the odor put out in some measurable smell number? I would appreciate your contacting whomever you deem appropriate as this continues to be a terrible smell for about 2-3 mile stretch on highway 78 in Walton County. Thank you in advance for your efforts."
