Impacts

The proposed 24/7 asphalt plant would affect air and water quality, increase noise and
light pollution, and disrupt the rural character of the community. It would also add heavy
truck traffic, increasing safety risks, road damage, potential property value declines, and
public costs.

Water

The concern is the combination of contamination risk, runoff
pollution, and long-term changes to groundwater recharge in a rural well-dependent area.
