Ospreys are one of the many bird species that have returned to this stretch of the river since the old cement plant shut down.

Island Creek is currently a fine fishing spot and a nursery location for many fish species. What will remain when Titan Cement starts an open pit limestone mine 150 yards to the west of this locationto feed its new, enormous coal fired cement kilns.

20+ years later the banks of the Northeast Cape Fear River still bear the erosion scars

Island Creek - Cut it all down, strip off the overburden and marl and haul the underlying limestone off to a new coal fired cement plant.


The old plant

The old plant

This is part of the old "small" cement plant. The new plant will be much, much larger.

Titan still refuses to say how much of what will come and go by barge to and from docks such as this.


Danger! Cement Plant!

Danger! Cement Plant!

20+ years after the plant closed it's still too dangerous to boat around one of their outfalls.

Trees along the Northeast Cape Fear River - Cut them all down, strip off the overburden and marl, haul the underlying limestone off to a new coal fired cement plant and call it progress.


Lipstick on a pig

Lipstick on a pig

Titan America brought their big pink truck to the last of their three "workshops."

The entire series of workshops was an exercise in spin control to make strip mining the wetlands adjoining the Northeast Cape Fear River seem like a good idea.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

    Great, Seuss! Thanks for tagging those to include them here. Gallery growing…

    As you no doubt already know, the ability for include captions in your photo stream lets you kind of picture-blog with extra information and context about Stop Titan - related photos such as these.

    I followed your photo stream and also saw some great photos of the Masonboro Island cleanup effort, which I blogged about on the Grove Project.
