NAACP raises concerns over cement plant too close to school

The Tuscaloosa Chapter of the NAACP is concerned that the dust particles and chemicals used could impact the students health.
The concrete batching plant is right across from the school off of 15th Street and dozens of mixing trucks pull in and out of the plant every day stirring dust into the air.
"We can't have a concrete batching plant right across the street from where we are trying to educate our kids," said NAACP director Jerry Carter.

The NAACP would like the plant to be relocated to an industrial park in the city or county.
"I would like to see the city or the county work something out so the electric concrete mixing plant can relocate away from the school," said Carter.
The NAACP will host a community meeting Thursday at 5 p.m. at the McDonald Hughes Center.

CIC slaps penalty on DPCC officials for withholding info on

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI) Two officials of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) have been slapped penalty by the Central Information Commission for withholding information about a concrete mixing batching plant set up by Hindustan Construction Company here, by relying on meaningless technical interpretation of words.
Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu imposed penalty on the DPCC officials as they did not provide details of "environmental clearance" given to Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) for setting up the concrete plant at Nelson Mandela Road here.

During the hearing on the matter, activist Anil Sood said the information sought was about establishment of an RMC ready mixed concrete batching plant by Hindustan Construction Company Limited but the Public Information Officer said "no such record exists" which is a clear denial of information with "ulterior motive and mala fide intention".
Sood had demanded the copy of the location plan clearly mentioning the project site and the approach map with nearest landmark as submitted by Hindustan Construction Company Limited, along with application for environmental clearance for setting up the concrete mixing plant at Nelson Mandela Road for Munirka elevated corridor.
He said he had perused the application and the inspection report provided to him was inconsistent on various points.
The DPCC said, in fact, the consent for operation was given to Hindustan Construction Company and there was no environment clearance, because of this confusion they could not give information on time.
"The Commission finds that applicant gave specific name of industry to which clearance is granted, whether it is called environmental clearance or consent to operate. Neither the then PIO Chandra Prakash nor the cell of environmental clearance applied their mind to the contents of RTI application," Acharyulu said. (MORE) PTI ABS SMN
