Our View: EPD puts King's interests above Ogeechee River
Placeholder Image
For the fourth time since a massive fish kill was discovered in the Ogeechee River in May 2011, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division held a public hearing to listen to concerns about the river and a proposed discharge permit for King America Finishing. For the fourth time, residents asked many questions about EPD oversight of the river, most specifically why King continues to be allowed to discharge into the Ogeechee without a permit since at least 2006. And for the fourth time, EPD representatives sat, didn't say a word and promised to get back with answers to questioners at the hearing.
