He’s responding to Dr. Sammons’ email. Hm, maybe VLCIA should get an environmental engineer on staff.

Dr. Sammons:

I’m not an environmental engineer, so I would refer you to the hundreds
of environmental groups supporting our project, the federal EPA, the state
EPD
(not sure how it works in Mass, but these are the groups in GA that are
given legal authority to permit and regulate power plants, and after a
lengthy review, they have approved this project enthusiastically and
certified its safety for GA), all the federal agencies, the FL Dept of
Health, Dr. Chris Teaf, an expert toxicologist, and others. It’s not my
opinion that counts regarding the absence of =93TONS=94 of dioxin and mercury
emissions you claim in your attempt to scare our community as you duck in
and out. I’m actually quoting experts. Dr. Teaf’s testimony is on our
site, plus the EPD permit, Golder analysis, etc. There’s plenty of
additional info there as well for your enjoyment. You are welcome to
continue e-mailing my staff, but rest assured, we are moving forward at this
time.

Have a nice day,

BL
