Smith and Sons Paving Company has applied for a Division of Air Quality permit to construct and operate
an asphalt plant in the Woodlawn section of McDowell County. The permit application ID is 5600183.00A.
NCDENR should deny permits for an asphalt plant at this site for two major reasons-
(1) The topography of the proposed site subjects the area to air inversions that would hinder
dispersal of the plant's air emissions.
(2) Rain run-off from the site will enter the nearby North Fork River, which is a primary feeder
stream to the Catawba Basin, which supplies water to many thousands of Carolinians.
Should NCDENR not promptly deny this permit application after preliminary investigation of the above
stated reasons for denial, it should, at the very least, require a 15 month weather study of the area. In an
NCDENR report of October 8, 1998 entitled "Meteorological Study Required Before Construction of
Boone Asphalt Ptant", NCDENR stated that construction of that facility was not to begin before a 15 month
weather study was completed. The report stated that: "The site proposed for this facility has several
distinct characteristics that warrant extra precautions in the consideration of this permit, DAQ Director Alan
Klimek said_" "The site is located in a small, narrow mountain valley adjacent to a river of national
significance; and the valley is subject to air inversions and stagnant weather conditions that may result in
pollutant trapping and impacts on residential areas near the proposed asphalt plant."
Asphalt plants are of concern because they emit toxic and carcinogenic compounds such as arsenic, benzene,
toluene, M1BK, and large amounts of other VOC's. A number of compounds emitted by asphalt plants are
classified as HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) metals and HAP organic compounds. They also release S02
and NOx, which are primary causes of acid rain and ground -level ozone.
The proposed site at Woodlawn is 1.4 miles from the North Fork River, 1.4 miles from the portion of Pisgah
National Forest that contains the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, 4.5 miles from Lake James, and 4.5 miles
from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Woodlawn is situated down in a bowl surrounded by mountains, just below
the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Under some weather conditions, air emissions can hover over such an area for
days without dispersal. The proposed site is surrounded by homes, one of the county's major employers,
and is across the road from the site for a new elementary school.
The proposed site is in the Little Switzerland Quadrangle of the US Geological Survey 7.5 series
topographical map, and appears to be at an elevation of about 1440 feet. The distances from the proposed
site to points where there is an elevation increase of 400 feet above the proposed site are as follows:
North 3.1 miles South .4 mile
East .6 mile West 1.0 mile

41,

2.
Elevation increases above that of the proposed site at points 3 miles distant from the site are as follows:
North
160 ft.
Northeast
1,360 ft.
East
1,040 ft.
Southeast
560 ft.
South
440 ft.
Southwest
840 ft.
West
1,560 ft.
Northwest
280 ft.
Visible from higher elevations around the proposed site are mountains with elevations 4,500 feet higher than
the proposed site.
The bowl that the mountains form around the Woodlawn area opens to the Northwest to Turkey Cove, a
residential area below 3,000 ft. ridges. Opening to the North, Northeast from Woodlawn is North Cove,
which primarily is a residential and farming area. North Cove is a narrow mountain valley bounded by 3,000
fI. mountains on both sides, down which many spring -fed streams flow to the North Fork River on its floor.
However, located in North Cove are two industries that already contribute significantly to the degradation of
air quality. Baxter Healthcare's plant releases large quantities of CO2, and the adjacent Trigen Biopower
plant emits large amounts of CO, and NOx, as well as smaller amounts of VOC's and S02.
The proposed asphalt plant site is adjacent to the Explosives Supply stone quarry and the Coats American
thread plant. The Coats plant currently has annual VOC emissions of 226 tons, as well as large emissions of
NOx and S02.
Traversing the Woodlawn and North Cove areas is US Highway 221 North. This is a 4-lane road through
Woodlawn, and is in the process of being widened to 4 lanes through North Cove. In addition to the air
emissions from vehicular use of this highway, there are numerous building stone, lumber, and nursery
businesses in the area that utilize heavy-duty trucks and equipment. A study commissioned by the Clean Air
Task Force, National Environmental Trust, and the U. S. Public Interest Research Group found that in
polluted areas, fine particle pollution - soot, often from diesel engines, accounts for 1800 deaths per year in
North Carolina. New EPA standards taking effect in 2007 require new heavy-duty engines to be 90 percent
less polluting than currently is the case. However, as these engines usually are in service for many years, it
may be 10 years before we see a significant reduction of pollution from these sources.
Whereas there are concerns about air inversions in the area during warm weather, there also is concern
about cool weather air movement. The mountain slopes surrounding Woodlawn, Turkey Cove, and North
Cove often are said to be in a thermal belt due to the movement of air in cool weather. Cooler afternoon
and evening air settles to the floor of the valley and displaces the lighter, warmer air. The warmer air then is
pushed up the slopes of the surrounding mountains. If this air contains ground -level ozone and other
pollutants, they simply inundate the areas on the slopes, where many people live.
Any air quality modeling performed by the DAQ to evaluate the impact of the proposed asphalt plant must
include not only the topography and weather conditions of the area, but also must include current emissions
from the Coats, Baxter, and Trigen plants, as well as from the major highway and stone, lumber, and nursery
businesses in the area. To omit any of these factors would fail to produce a realistic model. A team of
scientists headed by Orrin Pilkey reported that `V enough polluters are discharging toxic materials in
`harmless' amounts, the cumulative result is inevitably harmful amounts."

The proposed asphalt plant site is across the road from the site for a new elementary school to be built soon.
The County was unable to find anyone willing to sell enough suitable land for a school on this small valley
floor. The County resorted to condemnation procedures to acquire the land, and it is questionable whether
the County could now seek to condemn other property for the school that would be farther away from the
proposed asphalt plant site. Young children are more susceptible to the effects of toxins and pollution than
are adults, and more likely to sustain permanent disability. Ground -level ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur
dioxides, and haze particles have been associated with changes in human immune function, chronic
respiratory problems, pneumonia, changes in heart function, eye irritation and others. The state of
Connecticut has enacted the Buffer Zone Act specifically for asphalt plants. It prohibits any asphalt plant
from being located within 1/3 mile of any hospital, nursing home, school, any area of critical environmental
concern, watercourse or area occupied by housing. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency is
continuing to study asphalt plants to determine if further restrictions are needed.
When emissions from the proposed site do make it over the surrounding mountains and out of the
immediate area, they will affect the air quality over thousands of acres of Pisgah National Forest, Linville
Gorge Wilderness with its numerous flora and fauna known to exist only there, Lake James, Mt. Mitchell,
and other natural treasures of the area. The Woodlawn, North Cove, and surrounding areas form much of
the headwaters of the Catawba River Basin, which supplies much of the Carolinas with its water. Particulate
air pollution in the area settles into these waters.
In addition to humans and other animal species, pollution affects plant life, as evidenced by the effects of
acid rain on Mt. Mitchell and other high mountains. On ridges throughout the Appalachian mountains,
especially on westward facing slopes, every major species of tree is in decline. This is most likely the result
of ground -level ozone and acid rain. The U. S. Forest Service reported that the growth rate of West
Virginia forests has changed from 2.54%/yr. from 1977 - 1989 to 0.33%/yr. in the years, 1989 - 1995_ All
12 species of northern hardwoods in the Southern Appalachians are showing signs of decline. The stress of
air pollution on trees allows pests to proliferate and kill trees in fewer growing seasons as compared to trees
not subjected to air pollution. Infestations of the Southern Pine Beetle currently are killing the pine trees on
Linville Mountain in the area near the Coats plant at Woodlawn and northward through North Cove.
NCDENR's position is that asphalt plants permitted under its air quality regulations are safe and cannot be
excluded from a community unless prohibited by zoning regulations. However, under NCDENR's
regulations and enforcement, we have severe mountain haze and acid rain (much of which comes from other
states), and air unhealthy to breathe at times in parts of North Carolina. The American Lung Association
says that the air in parts of the North Carolina mountains, and two of its major metropolitan areas, puts
people at risk. For the second consecutive year, air pollution is North Carolina's top environmental
problem. Park rangers in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park have been warning visitors with
breathing problems to stay away from the higher elevations due to the unhealthy ozone levels there.
In the year, 2000, NCDENR reported to the EPA that areas of North Carolina not meeting air quality
standards include higher elevations in McDowell County. An asphalt plant at the proposed site would send
air emissions to these areas of already degraded air quality, and likely create more areas of degraded air
quality. In January of 2001, the Federal Government announced that it would more closely monitor air
quality in McDowell's neighboring county of Burke, due to degraded air quality there. Eastward breezes
would carry the plant's emissions the short distance to Burke County.

Flowing along the valley floor of North Cove and Woodlawn is the North Fork of the Catawba River, which
is a primary feeder stream of the Upper Catawba Basin. Although it receives treated wastewater from the
Baxter and Coats plants, and from the Blue Ridge Country Club, it is one of the cleanest streams in the state.
Countless spring -fed streams on the slopes surrounding Woodlawn, Turkey Cove, and North Cove bring
clean water to the North Fork. The U. S. Geological Survey 7.5 series topographical map and the FEMA.
flood insurance rate maps shows the proposed asphalt plant site to be about 1.4 miles distant from the North
Fork, and as much as 57 feet above it in elevation. These land features, and the presence of two small
streams near the proposed asphalt plant site that empty into the North Fork, ensure that run-off from the
asphalt plant site will enter the North Fork. Thus any chemicals on the ground or equipment, as well as any
asphalt or piles of recycled asphalt, will contribute pollution to the North Fork.
It is common practice to coat the beds of asphalt trucks with a release agent to assist in the removal of all
asphalt when the load is delivered to the paving site. Release agent is sprayed or applied to the truck bed at
the asphalt plant prior to loading. The most commonly used release agent is Polyslip, which is applied until
it drips on the ground. Polysiip contains synthetic detergents such as sodium metasilicate and sodium
tripolyphosphate. The other components are butoxyethanol and dodecyl benzene sulfonate. These are
poisons. The toxic dose for mice and rabbits is 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. This translates to
about 1 ounce for an adult human. Acute toxic doses to humans is an unlikely occurrence, however what is
of concern are the effects at lower concentrations and for chronic exposure. Butoxyethanol causes birth
defects and is of particular concern where it has the potential to contaminate drinking water supplies. The
limestone underlying the site will allow seepage of any chemicals into the water table, which will supply the
nearby school and others. Can we risk introducing such chemicals to the water table and Catawba Basin?
The current FEMA flood plain map covering the proposed asphalt plant site shows the 100 and 500 year
flood plains, and shows the proposed asphalt plant site to be outside those flood plains. However, this reap
was developed prior to much development and the current widening of US 221 N, and does not accurately
reflect the impact of run-off from impervious areas. Although it occurred less than 100 years ago, the map
also does not show the far greater flooding of the area in the 1916 Flood. On July 8, 1916, the remnants of
a hurricane from the Gulf of Mexico brought 3 days of heavy rain to the area. A second tropical storm from
the Atlantic made landfall at Charleston on July 13th and moved quickly to the area. For more than 48
hours, the second storm dropped record amounts of rain on an area with the ground saturated and streams
flooded from the first storm. Record rainfall was recorded at the nearby community of Altapass on July 15th
and 16th at 22.22 inches in 24 hours. Rainfall at Altapass for the month was 35.40 inches, and Manon's
rainfall for the month was 24.42 inches. These events occurred, irrespective of the fact that flood plain maps
may not indicate it. Horton Cooper's book, The History of Avery County, quotes geologists who studied
the area following the 1916 Flood as stating that they believed that it had been at least 500 years since a
prior flood of that magnitude, but that another flood of the magnitude of the 1916 Flood "could occur at any
time."
A recent U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report on the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) criticizes North Carolina's failure to enforce water quality regulations. The report said that
the EPA should expand its oversight of North Carolina's water quality regulatory efforts, and that North
Carolina should change the way that it regulates wastewater and animal farms. This clearly indicates that the
Federal government believes it should intervene in North Carolina's regulatory matters if it considers North
Carolina's performance in these matters not to be adequate. While NCDENR has much latitude in its
development of regulations and in its enforcement, it does have limitations relative to legislative
authorization and judicial interpretation. However, to fail to give environmental protection where it is
needed not only fails the health interests of the state's citizens, but also invites the Federal government to
come in and implement regulations that may not be appropriate for specific areas.

NCDENR currently is seeking the establishment of buffers along streams in the Catawba River Basin for the
purpose of protecting water quality. For NCDENR to allow an asphalt plant to operate at the Woodlawn
site, while restricting the activities of other landowners not posing pollution potential, would demonstrate a
fundamental lack of appropriate action for environmental protection and the interests of the people of North
Carolina.
The fact that Woodlawn, Turkey Cove, and North Cove are narrow valleys hemmed -in by mountains, and
have the headwaters of much of the Catawba Basin on their floors, should exclude the building there of any
more large industries, or industries with significant emissions or pollution potential. Any manufacturing
facility that utilizes chemicals or bulk materials will have mishaps. Regardless of back-up systems and safety
procedures, there will be failures of equipment, design, and communication; as well as human error and any
manner of unexpected events that cause unexpected leaks, spills, and discharges. The environment in this
area is too fragile, and the down -river consequences of its environmental health are too great, to risk
poisoning the area.
The environmental health of Western North Carolina not only affects the health of its citizens and visitors,
but also the economic health of the region and state. Western North Carolina attracts a large portion of
North Carolina's tourism income. The clean, naturally fragrant air of the woods on Linville Mountain, and
throughout Pisgah National Forest and most of Western North Carolina's mountain forests, is a treasured
natural resource that brings many people to the mountains, as man cannot duplicate it. An asphalt plant
located at the proposed Woodlawn site, and its `blue smoke" emissions, would be visible, and sometimes
smelled, from several overlooks and sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The same situation would exist
for a portion of the Mountains -to -Sea Trail, the Overmountain Victory Trail, and the portion of Pisgah
National Forest that contains the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area.
It is questionable planning to place heavy industry in an area that draws visitors with various facilities and
attractions, and by its proximity to other attractions beyond the area. The roads around asphalt plants stay
littered with asphalt droppings from trucks. The result is chipped windshields and paint as the debris is
thrown up by traffic. Tourists will tend to avoid such areas and advise others to do likewise.
We all benefit from having paved roads, but this is not to say that manufacture of asphalt should occur
anywhere. McDowell County's industrial park along I-40 would appear to be a more appropriate area for
an asphalt plant, as it is not closely surrounded by high mountains. However, the generally mountainous
terrain of all of McDowell County, and its location just below the Blue Ridge Escarpment, may make the
entire county unsuitable for industry with significant air emissions or potential for pollution.
Thank you for reading my letter. I, and many others, appreciate any consideration you can give to the points
I have raised. I ask you to visit the proposed site at Woodlawn and then drive through North Cove and
Turkey Cove. If you will do this, I believe you will be convinced that this site is not appropriate for a facility
such as an asphalt plant.
Sincerely,
Clay McCall
