Latest News: SELC Challenging Titan's Air Permit

North Carolina shirked its legal responsibility to protect people from avoidable harm by not requiring the proposed Titan America cement plant in New Hanover County to reduce its pollution to the maximum extent possible, according to documents filed today by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) in state court. The law center filed a legal challenge to the N.C. Division of Air Quality’s air permit for the plant on behalf of the N.C. Coastal Federation, Cape Fear River Watch, PenderWatch & Conservancy, and Sierra Club in the Office of Administrative Hearings. 
 
"By allowing the cement company to emit unnecessary and harmful levels of pollution, the state's permit for Titan's pollution fails residents and visitors of North Carolina and violates state and federal law," stated Geoff Gisler, an attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center who represents the groups, in a release. "Ignoring available pollution controls, the state granted Titan's toxic recipe to pollute the air we all breathe."
