    Description and Writeup

    07/29/2019: NB with the Division of Solid Waste Management notified DWR that a complaint was forwarded to TDEC by the EPA. The complainant wrote to the EPA "There’s coolant from the mills bubbling out the floors. holes in the floor filled with wood with steam that will take your breath away. there’s 3 ponds at the back of the building that I believe have toxic waist being dumped in. containment areas over fill when it rains causing waist to go in the drain system. the water tastes bad so I know there’s something present. makes me angry to see a company get away with polluting the earth when all they have to do is stop being greedy an invest in making this operation safe for the environment an the people involved I’m sure I’m missing plenty please investigate this ASAP I wish to remain anonymous w".
