I live near this site (it's actually Castle Hayne, NC, about 5 miles outside Wilmington). Aside from what is said here, other discerning facts found in Titan's air permit for this cement plant: 1) 263 lbs. of mercury (will be the 5th largest source of mercury emissions in our state); 10th highest emitting cement plant in the US. 2) Will make our county (New Hanover County), # 1 in the state for counties with highest mercury emissions. 3) If built, 5000 children will attend school within 5 miles of this cement plant. 4) the stretch of river (Cape Fear River) where this plant will be located is already impaired for mercury and we have one of the nations highest known levels of mercury ever recorded from humans-----just 30 miles from this site. And Titan has hired an expert to tell our community that mercury isn't really so bad..in fact, according to their recent full-page ad, even oxygen is fatal if too much is consumed. Stoptitan.org has formed to stop this plant. check out our site and help support our efforts to keep this high-mercury emitting industry out of our community.
