permit to mine, page-33

I'm sure that's another that will be dealt with in similar fashion to her complaint against the Longleaf Energy Station.

Comments from Cynthia Patterson – citizen of Marietta, Georgia
94. Please accept these comments opposing the Longleaf Energy Station coal-fired
power plant proposed for Early County.
Although the plan will provide 100 jobs in an area of 7% unemployment, the
environmental cost is too high.
Two hundred pounds of toxic mercury will be released. Ten tons of carbon
dioxide, which contributes to climate change, 3,7000 tons of nitrous dioxide and
6,400 tons of sulfur dioxide will pollute the air. Particulate matter will travel
hundreds of miles downwind.
Response: Please refer to Comment 77 of this Final Determination for more information
on this topic.
The Chattahoochee River will be used to dump 5 million gallons of wastewater,
daily. It will consume 20 million gallons of water, at a time when drought and the
water needs of Florida and Alabama indicate we should be using less water, not
more.
Response: EPD has taken into consideration all relevant factors required by our state
laws and rules in making a decision regarding issuance of the water withdrawal and
NPDES permits. EPD does not expect that the loss of water from the Chattahoochee
River would cause adverse impacts on downstream users. Also, please refer to Comment
91 of this Final Determination for more information on this topic.
